I do not understand why she would get work comp if all her medical is covered and she still draws her regular paycheck. When I was on work comp they covered the medical but I only got 80% pay and they did not cover the premiums for my insurance.
... or does this mean the same?
I was asking about Workers Comp because I didn't know how that works for local police officers (and I am getting conflicting reports about this from elsewhere). What I do know is this- Workers Comp 101- if you are eligible for Workers Comp, you can't sue your employer or fellow employee for damages (as always, there are a few exceptions).
