Workers’ Compensation and Transportation Expenses
Workers’ compensation coverage is meant to reimburse injured workers for all the major expenses associated with their workplace injury. This means that this coverage should compensate individuals for adequate days off of work to heal and for related medical costs. In addition, some employees may be able to secure compensation for transportation costs if they need to drive a significant distance to get treatment for a work-related injury.

Examples of Transportation Coverage
A person who has been injured at work may need to drive substantial distances on a regular basis to get treatment. These trips can eventually put many miles on a vehicle, costing a driver in terms of both wear and tear on their vehicle and the cost of gas, and these expenses can be a significant burden on an injured individual. Fortunately, in some instances, an individual can be compensated for:
- Therapy commutes
- Driving to a supported pharmacy
- Getting to a hospital or clinic regularly
Considering the high costs of gasoline, these expenses can become substantial burdens for individuals who are already trying to cover the costs associated with their workplace injuries.
