worker's comp.....

This has to vary by state or region. In Ontario Canada, the workplace safety board pays the cost but then collects from the employer by adjusting their risk rate. If the company were to go out of business immediately the workplace safety board would be out the amount they paid, and all other employers would pick up the cost as all would have their risk rate increased.

The company does it via workman's comp. Workman's comp investigates the injury claim for the company. The Union basically watchdogs both the company and the union--to insure the injured worker is treated fairly and that all rights given that worker are kept.

If need be, the unionized worker can seek free legal assistance via the Union if their rights are being circumvented and/or violated.

~~The company's workers compensation insurance company (which by law they must have if they have employees) pays the claims.~~
