So if you meet with an accident on a bike and are hospitalized and disabled to work for the next three months then this may not be covered in your workers compensation. If the accident did not occur at your workplace, it will not be covered. The unemployment insurance cover will provide benefits of maximum 15 weeks. But if you still can't work, once 15 weeks are over then you can use disability insurance.
