The situation: A worker was injured while performing his duties at the worksite. The employer had enrolled him in work-injury insurance, and the incident and medical reports were documented immediately.
Applicable law: The Work Safety Law and the Social Insurance Law require employers to provide a safe environment and enroll workers in insurance, and thanks to this, documented work injuries are covered.
Typical outcome: Because the worker was enrolled and the injury documented, insurance covered the treatment and the due compensation; had he not been enrolled, the worker would have faced a long dispute and possibly borne the costs.
