Workers compensation insurance covers injuries or illnesses:

That occur while on any job
That are job related
In the event of theft
In all cases

The correct answer is: That are job related

Workers' compensation insurance is specifically designed to provide coverage for injuries or illnesses that arise as a direct result of an employee's job or occupational duties. This means that the injuries or illnesses must be job-related, not incidental or related to personal activities outside of work. When an employee sustains an injury or contracts an illness that can be traced back to their work environment or job responsibilities, they are eligible for benefits under workers' compensation. The intent is to ensure that employees are protected financially in the event of a workplace injury, covering medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. The other answer choices highlight scenarios that do not align with the purpose of workers' compensation. For example, injuries occurring while on any job may not be covered if they were not job-related, and theft is not related to employee injuries or illnesses. The option of "in all cases" is too broad, as it suggests coverage under circumstances that are not connected to the employee's job. Therefore, identifying the scope as limited to job-related incidents is essential for accurately understanding how workers' compensation operates.
