Workers Comp Conundrum: Permanently Disabled but Still Working - Posted by Jon Coppelman, Workers Comp Insider
Workers comp in this country is nearly 100 years old. When the statute wound its way through each of the states, it was a radical and long-overdue idea: a no-fault system which protected employers from lawsuits, while it ensured that lost wages, medical bills and scheduled benefits (scarring, loss of limbs, etc) were paid to injured employees. It's the first and only form of universal disability insurance protecting almost every American worker. As we move into the new century, it's becoming clearer that the industrial model lying at the heart of workers comp no longer reflects the realities of the new working world.------------------------------------------- posted 5:02 AM :: reference link ::
