About
Workers Compensation
Workers
compensation was one of the first social insurance
programs adopted broadly throughout the United
States.
Under
workers compensation employers are required to make provisions
such that workers who are injured in accidents arising out of
or in the course of employment receive medical treatment and
receive payments ranging up to two-thirds of their wages to
replace lost income.
Workers
compensation laws were originally adopted by most states
between 1911 and 1920 and the programs continue to be
administered by state governments today.
