Workers’ compensation insurance is a type of no-fault insurance system that most employers in Arizona are required to carry. By virtue of the workers’ compensation system, a worker who is injured during the course of their work-related duties is eligible for certain benefits without having to prove fault and without being ineligible for benefits due to their own fault; in exchange for no-fault benefits, though, the employer is immune from liability. This means that the injured worker cannot bring a lawsuit directly against their employer for damages.
