Injury Schedule
What Does Injury Schedule Mean?
An injury schedule is a list of injuries covered by an insurance policy. Insurance companies typically provide a specific amount of compensation for each injury listed on the schedule. Generally, the more serious the injury, the higher the compensation.
Injury schedules are commonly included in workers’ compensation insurance policies.
Insuranceopedia Explains Injury Schedule
Non-scheduled injuries differ from scheduled injuries in that they are not listed on a specific schedule or a list within an insurance policy.
Coverage for non-scheduled injuries can vary from policy to policy and insurer to insurer. However, employers typically seek coverage for most types of injuries that could occur on their premises when selecting workers’ compensation insurance policies. This helps prevent the need for lawsuits in the event of an injury.
