The answer is A

Workers' compensation is only awarded for injuries resulting from the job. A worker who receives workers' compensation cannot sue his employer. Workers' compensation is an exclusive remedy.

Workers compensation insurance pay benefits to employees for injuries sustained on the job. It is a mandatory coverage in a majority of states. Most companies are mandated by law to purchase workers’ compensation coverage.

Workers compensation is not an endorsement in a commercial policy; it is an insurance policy that covers employees on possible injuries at work. This insurance doesn’t cover loss due to personal injury, false arrest, libel, defamation of character or invasion of policy. If a residence employee is injured on the job, the state law requires employers to provide benefits, via their workers’ compensation insurer to employee injured on the job.
