Being injured in an accident on the job can be stressful in multiple ways. There is the work-related injury or illness itself, which can be painful, life-altering, and of uncertain duration. There is the stress of trying to reconfigure your household budget if your income replacement benefits do not match what you were making while you were still on the job.
And then there is the stress of dealing with the workers compensation insurer, the medical appointments, and — perhaps most challenging of all — the mounting medical bills. Even if you have short-term disability insurance, that often will not completely cover your lost income.
