• The purpose of this web brochure is to give a brief explanation of some basic information that you should know if you are injured on the job. You should read it carefully to make sure that you know both your rights and your responsibilities. Workers’ compensation is a program that requires your employer to provide medical benefits, disability benefits and re-employment benefits if you are injured, or become ill, where the injury or illness is caused by the work you performed for your employer. In cases involving fatalities, dependents may be eligible for death benefits. Should you need additional information after reading this brochure, please contact the Division of Workers’ Compensation at (907) 465-2790 in Juneau, (907) 269-4980 in Anchorage or (907) 451-2889 in Fairbanks.
