There are a number of significant differences between workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits. Workers’ compensation benefits are intended for work-related injuries. The benefits are typically covered by the employer’s insurance provider.

Long-term disability benefits, on the other hand, cover non-work related medical conditions. These conditions can include neck and back pains. In most cases, individuals pay for their long-term disability benefits.
