Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation insurance provides medical and wage benefits to employees who are injured or become ill at work. This coverage is mandated by each state and the wage and medical benefits vary by state. Worker Compensation benefits provide medical care for injured workers and help pay for lost wages caused by an injury if the employee is unable to work or is temporarily or permanently disabled. Mt. Diablo Unified School District (“District”) contracts with a third party administrator (LWP) for the management of its claims.
