Who regulates workers’ compensation?

Generally, state laws regulate workers’ compensation. Therefore, there is not a guaranteed amount of workers’ comp that is controlled by the federal government. However, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration works to protect employees from injuries acquired while on the job.

However, several types of workers, including railroad employees, federal government employees, seamen and maritime employees, and those who suffer from black lung due to mining are protected by the U.S. government.

Because all of the nuances of determining workers’ comp by state can be confusing, you should consult a lawyer for legal counsel.
