This text is designed to serve
as an important resource for legal professionals involved
in workplace injury law. It explores the most common types
of injuries that occur in the workplace, guides you through
the practice and procedure of workplace compensation law,
and delves into the ethics and administration of the systems
currently in place.
The compensibility of on-the-job
injuries and death varies from state to state, many genuine
injuries are subjective (i.e., with little or no physical
evidence of damage), insurance companies can and do vigorously
resist the payment of benefits, the bureaucracy of the appeals
process can be a tangle . . .
This volume provides ideas,
analysis, techniques and appraisals of various workers'
compensation issues for practitioners by practitioners.
Editors McFarren and Grossman have gathered chapters from
leading medical and legal experts in the field. Attorneys
and judges--as well as healthcare providers, employers,
insurance company representatives and vocational experts--will
find new ideas, fresh perspectives and just plain good advice.
