How Do I Obtain Delaware Workers' Compensation Benefits?Delaware's Workers' Compensation (WC) benefits differ from those of other jurisdictions. You do not have to wait until you are injured on the job to receive benefits, unlike in other states. In Delaware, if you suffer a work-related injury, you can receive benefits prior to filing a claim. The law states that you must demonstrate that your injury was a result of your employment, but it does not state that you must file a claim before receiving benefits. It is referred to as "no-fault" compensation. In Delaware, you can even receive benefits for an injury that occurred prior to your employment. You can even receive benefits if you are injured at a non-employer-owned workplace. If you are injured on the job, the law permits you to prosecute your employer for damages.
