Understanding Non-Occupational Injuries: Causes, Coverage & Claims

* Sports injuries

* Injuries that occur at home

* Injuries that occur in car accidents

* Injuries that occur while traveling

Non-occupational injuries can be just as serious as occupational injuries, and they can also lead to lost time at work and medical bills. However, non-occupational injuries are not covered by workers' compensation insurance, so you will need to file a claim with your health insurance company or go through your auto insurance if the accident falls under those guidelines.
