Great question Amanda. The answer is no. Workers' Compensation benefits come from your employer's insurance provider, and it does not cost your direct employer anything. We have had some clients have issues with the employer due to time off needed because they are injured. Your attorney can advise you in this situation. If you have an attorney involved sooner they can help you take precautionary steps to make sure you have explored all options to stay protected from your employer, such as proper ways to document your injury report, and ways to notify your employer. We hope this helps! Thank you.
