Want to learn more about workers' compensation insurance?
Workers' compensation insurance is the payment by employers
for some part of the cost of injuries, or in some cases of
occupational
diseases, received by employees in the course of their work.
The degree of responsibility varies in different countries
and in different states of the United States.
Most modern worker's compensation systems consist of legislation
requiring the employer to furnish a reasonably safe place
to work, suitable equipment, rules and instructions when
they
are reasonably necessary, and reasonably competent foremen
and superintendents.
The employer is liable for an employee's acts of negligence,
for the employer's own gross negligence, and for extraordinary
risks of work. In most cases the employer is not liable
for accidents occurring outside the place of work, or for
those
which have
not arisen directly from employment.
Workers' compensation legislation was first passed in Germany,
Austria, and Great Britain in the late 1800s. Such legislation
came later in the United States, but by 1920 all but
six states had passed some form of it; at present all states
have some
sort of workers' compensation.
Private insurance companies offer employers' compensation
insurance; some states have made such insurance compulsory,
and a few
have created state insurance funds to secure payments
even when the
employer is insolvent. Most states similarly provide
for public employees, although some limit this coverage
to
workers engaged
in dangerous occupations. In Great Britain the payment
of compensation is required for almost all industrial
accidents. In France
all noninsured employers are taxed for a state fund
that guarantees compensation payments. In the United States,
as
well as in
other
countries, benefits usually cover medical expenses,
cash
payments in the case of temporary or permanent incapacity,
and increasingly,
vocational rehabilitation. (Source: Answers.com)
