A quick definition of compensable injury:

A compensable injury is when someone gets hurt or harmed in a way that the law says they should be paid for. This can happen if someone breaks a rule or does something wrong that causes harm to another person's body, character, or property. It can be a physical injury like a cut or a verbal injury like saying mean things about someone. Basically, if someone does something that hurts someone else, they might have to pay for it.

A more thorough explanation:

A compensable injury is an injury that is eligible for compensation or payment. It refers to an injury that occurred while an employee was performing their job duties and is covered by workers' compensation insurance.

For example, if a construction worker falls off a ladder and breaks their leg while on the job, that injury would be considered a compensable injury. The worker would be eligible for compensation to cover their medical expenses and lost wages.

Another example of a compensable injury would be a repetitive stress injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, that develops over time due to the nature of the job. In this case, the worker may be eligible for compensation even if there was no specific incident that caused the injury.

Compensable injuries are important because they ensure that employees are protected and taken care of if they are injured while on the job. It also helps employers by providing a clear process for handling workplace injuries and reducing the risk of lawsuits.
