Louisiana workers compensation laws are regulated in this state by the Louisiana Workforce Commission. These laws have specifically been designed to provide financial support to those workers who get injured at the workplace while performing their duty. Sometimes, the workplace is exposed to certain hazardous elements, which may result in diseases for the employees in the long run. Even in such cases, the employees are entitled to compensation benefits. The benefits cover the medical expenses needed to treat the occupational injuries or illnesses. Furthermore, in cases, where the injuries are more serious and the injured worker is unable to return to work due to temporary or permanent disability thus caused, the benefits also include the monetary compensation for the resulting wage loss.
