Workers' compensation typically provides benefits for injuries or illnesses that occur as a result of employment. Among the options you provided, the one that might be covered by workers' compensation in at least some circumstances is:
Training to prepare an employee who was disabled by a workplace accident.
This is often referred to as vocational rehabilitation, which can help an injured worker gain new skills or training for different employment due to their disability.
The other options are generally not covered by workers' compensation:
- Payments to the family of a worker who died may be covered depending on circumstances but usually revolve around work-related fatalities.
- Medical treatment for injuries caused by a car crash while on vacation is typically not covered since it does not occur in the course of employment.
- Payments to a worker after they retire are not part of workers' compensation benefits.
