(Excerpt)

This Note argues that the legislature should add a provision to New York’s Workers’ Compensation Act that expressly precludes jurors from coverage.

Radiation Injury In Workmen's Compensation, Richard E. Hendricks

Cleveland State Law Review

Whether because of expanded uses of the fruits of the nuclear age, or because of more insights into radiation caused diseases, in years to come more employees are likely to find themselves filing claims for workmen's compensation because of alleged radiation-caused diseases or illnesses.

Can the present laws be improved, and what efforts are being made-or should be made-to im-prove them?
