## Spinal cord injury FAQs

### Is a back injury covered by workers' compensation?

If it happened in the course of your work, a back or spinal injury is generally covered, including injuries that build up over time from repetitive tasks. Workers' compensation is a no-fault system, so you do not have to prove employer negligence.

### What benefits might I receive?

Depending on your case, benefits can include medical treatment, temporary disability payments while you recover, and permanent disability benefits if your injury has lasting effects.

### How long do I have to report it?

Report the injury to your employer promptly, generally within 30 days, with further deadlines to file the claim. Contact us early. [CONFIRM: confirm deadlines for your specific claim]
