        "description": "**Workers comp covers medical bills, partial lost wages (typically 66% of average weekly wage), and permanent impairment awards.** Employers must carry insurance; file claims through state commissions[1][2]. No fault needed. **Key factors:** Report promptly, use authorized providers, attend independent medical exams. **Practical guidance:** Submit claim forms after reporting, track treatments/mileage for reimbursement, appeal denials via hearing. Benefits continue for related future care. **Idaho: 1-year filing limit[2].**"
