Municipal Workers’ Compensation AttorneyMunicipal employees are workers who provide needed services for a city, town, county, or state. They are local government employees who impact a city or community in numerous ways such as keeping the community safe and clean and improving the quality of life for all residents. There are a variety of work-related hazards that can affect their health. Municipal workers, just like employees working in the private secto,r can face work-related risks that result in injuries that keep them from working.

Municipal workers are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, too. Local government workers’ compensation coverage may be administered differently than traditional workers’ compensation coverage utilized by the private sector. Local government secures its own workers’ compensation policies to cover the injuries of municipal workers.
