Key practical points:
• An injury at, or because of, work (and some commuting cases) may count as a work injury.
• The employer must enroll all workers, including foreigners, in work-injury insurance.
• A 'work-injury recognition' application must be filed within a set deadline after the incident.
• The insurance covers treatment, rehabilitation and disability compensation by graded level.
• If the company failed to enroll, it bears the costs instead of the fund.
• Keep medical reports and witnesses, as they are the basis of the claim.

💬 Practical reading
💬 This is a general reading/opinion for orientation — not the official legal text nor legal advice.
If you are hurt at work, the two key steps are immediate treatment plus documentation, and filing the work-injury recognition on time. If your company failed to insure you, the law puts the costs on it. Do not assume the company will do this automatically; follow up yourself. General orientation, not legal advice.
