Marketing defects occur when the products instructions or warnings are inadequate.

Workers compensation is typically mandatory in most jurisdictions, meaning employers must provide coverage for their employees.

You might be qualified to receive workers' compensation benefits if you were hurt while working. Workers' compensation is a state-regulated program that gives benefits to employees who are injured while on the job.
