Synopsis

This book introduces you to the laws of workmens compensation insurance, a business founded on the rights established by the Employers Liability Act 1880. This book provides a concise overview of the legislation that forms the basis of workmens compensation insurance, both historically and in present law. It begins by outlining the harsh and inequitable treatment faced by injured workers in the 19th century, before examining the Employers Liability Act and its significant impact. Further legislation extended the rights of injured workers, with the Workmens Compensation Act of 1906 paving the way for a more formalized system of insurance. The author examines the legislation and explores key concepts such as liability, notice of injury, compensation scales and the rights of injured workers. The book examines the complexities of occupational injury compensation, including the positions of contractors and subcontractors and the inclusion of industrial diseases under the Workmens Compensation Act 1906. It also covers the Act's provisions for seamen, its recognition of industrial diseases, and the rights of third parties. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for students and practitioners of workmens compensation insurance, providing a concise and informative guide to the evolution and legal framework of this important social protection.
