What type of injuries are covered under Michigan's workers comp law?

I was informed that under Michigan's Workers Comp law, injury at work doesn't have to be work related. Anyone by exprience know the details under MI's WC law, what type of injury at the the workplace is covered or not covered?

Also, is the employer responsible for offering aid when an employee is badly injured at work? i.e. Calling an ambulance or taking an employee to the hospital?

I'm researching this for my mom who is 63 and ended up with a compression fracture of her vertebrate.

Thanks in advance.

it has to be work related to be covered under WORKERS Comp

typically any injury that happened while on the clock at work should be covered

someone should have at least contacted the manager or supervisor of the injury when it happened with a injury report made at tht time
the witness needed to sign it also
then the person should have gone to the designated clinic for a exam

IF the MD takes the person off work- meaning they cannot work in any capacity with restrictions then the employers insurance Company will contact the injured person for a recorded statement and it will proceed from there-
with a independent exam , possibly tests


Your Mom might need to hire her own attorney proficient in Workers Comp Law

Good Luck

It would have to be proven to be a result of her job environment or the negligence of her employer. Most employers will assist someone who needs an ambulance or needs a ride to the hospital but they are not obligated to do that.
