Workers' compensation is awarded as punitive damages of a lawsuit initiated by an injured employee.

Explanation:

Workers' compensation is awarded as punitive damages of a lawsuit initiated by an injured employee. Workers' compensation is a "no-fault" insurance system that gives financial support to those types of employees who become injured or ill while at work. It commonly includes partial wage care replacement, medical and death benefits. Its main purpose is to eliminate the need for litigation by providing the injured workers with fixed monetary awards.
