The history of workers compensation Posted by LynchRyan, Workers Comp Insider
Here in the United States, workers comp wasn't enacted in this country until 1911. Wisconsin was the first state to adopt a law, and by 1948, every state had some form of 'workman's comp.' At essence, this social insurance is a pact between employers and employees. Employers are mandated to cover medical care and provide wage replacement for injured workers; in exchange for this protection, the workers compensation becomes the exclusive remedy for workers. Although the courts have upheld this doctrine for nearly a century, in some instances, such as willful intent or bad faith, court challenges have succeeded in piecing the exclusivity.------------------------------------------- posted 6:21 AM :: reference link ::
