worker's comp
Job injury coverage
Worker's comp is short for worker's compensation—insurance that covers employees injured on the job.
It pays for medical treatment and lost wages when someone gets hurt at work: She's been on worker's comp since the forklift accident.
The system typically prevents employees from suing their employers for workplace injuries.
