Claims defined in law are statutory claims.

There are four basic "statutory claims" under state Workers' Compensation laws: Medical Expenses, Disability benefits (lost wages and loss of use), Rehabilitation benefits, and Survivors' benefits. Each state may add to this list as it sees fit.

There are also specific benefits defined in the federal Longshore and Harborworkers' Compensation Act which are generally broader or more comprehensive than those under state WC laws.
