Workers´ Compensation
Regardless of who is at fault, Workers’ Compensation provides you with certain benefits in the event you have a job-related injury or illness. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for
- compensation for your medical expenses
- temporary or permanent compensation for lost wages

Arizona law considers the following to be job-related
- injury or illness that results in the immediate onset of symptoms
- injury or illness that results in delayed symptoms that may not appear for days, week or months after the incident
- medical condition that developed "gradually" over a period of days, months or years as a result of work-related activity
- preexisting medical condition aggravated by a specific accident at work or a "gradual" aggravation caused by work-related activities over a period of days, months or years
