Any injury or illness, caused by your job, is covered by Workers’ Compensation. This includes minor injuries and illnesses as well as serious injuries and illnesses. Under Workers’ Compensation, you are covered no matter who was at fault for your injury or illness.

Any injury or illness resulting from employment at the University is covered. This includes everything from first-aid type injuries to serious accidents. Job-related illnesses are covered too. For example, common colds and flu are not covered, but if you catch tuberculosis while working at a TB hospital, that is covered. The key is whether the injury or illness is caused by your job.
