Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a report by the Industrial Insurance Commission appointed by the Governor of Washington to investigate industrial accidents and draft a bill to compensate injured workers and their dependents. At the forefront of the workers' compensation movement in the United States, the report is part of a wave of similar commissions created in industrializing states from 1910 onward. The report presents the commission's findings on the inadequacy of existing common law remedies for injured workers, and proposes a comprehensive workers' compensation system that would provide sure and certain relief to injured workers and their families, regardless of fault. Exploring the relationship between industrial accidents, the common law, and employer liability, the report argues that the common law system, while venerable, has proven inadequate and unfair to workers in the context of industrial accidents. It also discusses the economic and social costs of industrial accidents, and the need for a system that would distribute the burden of these costs more equitably. The report is not merely a historical document, but a blueprint for workers' compensation systems in the United States and beyond, and its insights remain relevant to contemporary debates about the role of workers' compensation in the 21st century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
