Workers' compensation is a simple idea - provide injured workers with immediate medical and compensation support in the event of a work injury without regard to fault - a privatized social system. Employers are relieved of costly, and perhaps disastrous civil claims and employees receive immediate relief.
What started out simple, though, has become exceptionally complex, to the point where workers' compensation was the first legal specialty recognized by the California State Bar Association. Today all 50 states have some form of workers' compensation program, as do most industrialized countries. The industry is huge, and the rules vary from state to state (and sometimes from county to county).
