Workers’ Compensation and Transportation Expenses

When a worker is injured on the job, they can apply for workers’ compensation benefits to reimburse him or her for all expenses that accumulate due to the injury. Along with providing financial benefits to pay for medical bills and lost wages for time to recover, workers’ compensation benefits can also pay injured individuals back for any travel costs for driving long distances to receive medical treatment or rehabilitative therapy.

If you have been injured on the job it is important to ensure that you understand your legal rights regarding workers’ compensation.

Types of Transportation Coverage

Not everyone lives near the physicians, hospitals, or experts, they may see for medical care after an accident. In many cases, individuals have to travel over substantial distances on a regular basis for treatment. Fortunately, you can receive benefits to address expenses incurred by:

• Commuting to receive medical treatment
• Driving for rehabilitation services such as therapy
• Driving to and from the pharmacy to pick up medication

If you are driving on a regular basis for medical care because of your injury, you should not be left to bear the potentially significant costs out of your own pocket.
