Workers Compensation Rehabilitation

Paper Summary:

Explains the United States system of workers compensation, the process of workers compensation that existed prior to the current system, the criteria that must be met by an employee before he can make a claim for workers compensation, and the benefits now offered by the system. Also discussed are some of the problems of the current workers compensation system.

From the Paper:

"For example, typical legal language states that in order for an injury to be covered, the harm suffered by the employee must have been caused by an "accidental personal injury arising out of and in the course of employment." Those few words, in this example from the Maryland Worker's Compensation law, are the subject of many court decisions and interpretations. Not all injuries are covered by a Workers' Compensation Law even if the injury happened "on the job." Just because a person is hurt "while working," "on the job" or "at work" may not be enough for the insurance to apply."
