I work for a certain company one of the internship students just lost one of his figures and three other injured,apart from medication is there any other compensation for them
Hey ****! I'm here to help. In the Central Region, workplace injuries might qualify for compensation beyond medical expenses, such as disability benefits or worker's compensation. It's important to check if the company has insurance covering injuries at work. Are there any specific workplace policies or insurance plans in place for interns?
The company does not have any insurance plans for interns but rather the employees
That's a tough situation, ****. Since the company doesn't provide insurance for interns, the injured intern may still have some options:
- Worker's Compensation: Depending on regional laws, interns might be eligible for worker's compensation, even if not explicitly covered by policies.
- Personal Injury Claim: If negligence is involved, the intern might consider this route.
- State or Regional Labor Laws: Check if there are specific protections for interns in workplace injury cases.

- Personal Injury Claim: If the injury resulted from negligence or unsafe conditions, the intern might pursue a personal injury claim against the company.
- State or Regional Labor Laws: Investigate local labor laws, as they might provide additional protections or compensation for interns.
