workmen's compensation
Job injury coverage
Workmen's compensation is an older term for workers' compensation—insurance that covers employees injured on the job.
The system provides medical expenses and wage replacement without requiring the worker to prove employer negligence.
The gender-neutral *workers' compensation* has largely replaced it in legal and business usage.
