        "description": "**Workers' comp covers medical expenses, lost wages (typically 66% of average weekly wage), and permanent disability benefits if applicable.** Pain/suffering isn't covered, but third-party suits might add that.[1][3] Key factors: prove injury arose from employment; maximums vary by state (Utah caps at 312 weeks). Document doctor visits and work restrictions; negotiate settlements carefully. Values depend on injury severity - severe cases reach six figures.[3]"
