Workers’ compensation provisions cover employees’ injuries in most cases. However, employees are typically not covered if they purposely inflict injuries on themselves.
Other types of cases in which employees typically do not receive workers’ compensation benefits include the following: Employees act in a reckless manner in the workplace, or employees sustain workplace injuries while intoxicated or under the influence of illegal drugs.
