Workers compensation systems (known as compo in Australia or worker’s comp in North America) provide compensation for employees who are injured in the course of employment. While schemes differ between jurisdictions, provision can be made for weekly payments in lieu of wages, compensation for economic loss, reimbursement or payment of medical and like expenses, general damages for pain and suffering and benefits payable to the dependants of workers killed during employment.
These laws are usually a feature of highly developed industrial societies, implemented after long and hard fought struggles by trade unions. Supporters of such schemes believe they improve working conditions and provide an economic safety net for employees. Conversely, these schemes are often criticized for removing or restricting workers common law rights in order to reduce governments or insurance companies’ financial liability.
At the law offices of Kevin A. Moore, his team Tamps workers compensation lawyers will take the time to clearly explain the sometimes frustrating legal process to those clients injured in the workplace and work aggressively toward getting them their fair and just compensation.
