The Michigan Disability Prevention Study: Research Highlights, H. Allan Hunt, Rochelle Virginia Habeck
Upjohn Institute Working Papers
This 3-year collaborative research project was designed to provide empirical evidence to substantiate the impact of various employer policies and practices on the prevention and management of workplace disability. It studied a random sample of 220 Michigan establishments with more than 100 employees from seven different industries who responded to a mail survey in the first half of 1991. The study correlates differences in employer-reported levels of achievement on policy and practice dimensions with performance on disability outcome measures, while controlling for a set of establishment characteristics in a multivariate regression analysis.

Defining "Disability": The Approach To Follow, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Defining "Disability": The Approach To Follow, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
The definition of "disability" has once again become a central issue in workers' compensation law. I am partly responsible. A decade ago I served as the Governor's Special Counselor on Workers' Compensation. In my Reportto the Cabinet Council on Jobs and Economic Development, I stated: "If I could write on a clean slate, I would prefer to see the Michigan definition brought even closer into the mainstream of American law by declaring that 'disability' means a 'limitation of an employee's wage earning capacity in work suitable to his or her qualifications and training resulting from a personal injury or work …

Workers' Compensation Reform: A Case Study Of The Legislative Process In Michigan, Robert Vanderlaan, Richard K. Studley
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
At a 1979 workers' compensation seminar for the Michigan Legislature, University of Michigan law professor Marcus Plant closed by noting that "[m]y intent was to sketch in broad strokes the background of our workers' disability compensation law. It is my firm belief that wise decisions as to where we should go cannot be made unless we know how we got where we are. " I share Professor Plant's belief. I feel strongly that wise public policy decisions about where we should go next in the reform process depend substantially on a good understanding of how we got where we are …

Workmen's Compensation--Encouraging Employment Of The Handicapped In Michigan: A Proposal For Revision Of The Michigan Second Injury Fund, Michigan Law Review
Workmen's Compensation--Encouraging Employment Of The Handicapped In Michigan: A Proposal For Revision Of The Michigan Second Injury Fund, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Employment of the handicapped is clearly a proper concern of the state. Unemployed, such a person is a burden on his family and on the state; welfare and relief payments to such a person needlessly increase costs to both the state and local governments supporting such programs. Employed, the handicapped person is a self-supporting, stable member of the community; he becomes a taxpayer rather than a tax consumer. There are also important moral and social considerations which may be simply summarized stating that no person who is able to work should be needlessly denied employment. In short, any continued waste …
The "Heart Cases" In Workmen's Compensation: An Analysis And Suggested Solution, Arthur Larson
The "Heart Cases" In Workmen's Compensation: An Analysis And Suggested Solution, Arthur Larson
Michigan Law Review
It is one of the great tragedies of the workmen's compensation story that almost all courts, in their perfectly justifiable search for a legal barrier that would keep compensation heart liability from getting out of hand, have seized upon the wrong component in the coverage formula. The words "by accident" or their equivalent were pressed into service for this task, ·and they have proved to be a most ill-fitting tool for this function. If the courts had followed the more logical course of testing these cases by the causal principle prescribed by the words "arising out of the employment," there …
Workmen's Compensation - Benefits - Exclusiveness Of Schedule Provision, Mark Shaevsky
Workmen's Compensation - Benefits - Exclusiveness Of Schedule Provision, Mark Shaevsky
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff received benefits under the schedule provisions of the Michigan workmen's compensation statute for amputation of four fingers and one leg. Upon the expiration of payments the hearing officer awarded additional recovery for plaintiff's total disability resulting from the amputation. After subtracting compensation received for the specified losses, the appeal board affirmed. On appeal to the supreme court, held, affirmed by an equally divided court. The legislature intended the schedule provisions to be irreducible minimum awards, not exclusive compensation. Curtis v. Hayes Wheel Co., which construed schedule allowances as barring further recovery for total and permanent disability, is …
Infancy-Effect Of Workmen's Compensation Act On Privilege To Disaffirm
Infancy-Effect Of Workmen's Compensation Act On Privilege To Disaffirm
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff's decedent, a minor illegally employed, was killed while in the course of employment. As administrator, plaintiff sought to repudiate the award under the Compensation Act. He proceeded with an action at law and obtained a judgment of $20,000. On writ of error, held, judgment reversed without a new trial; the minor, not having elected otherwise, was bound by the terms of the Workmen's Compensation Act. Thomas v. Morton Salt Co., 253 Mich. 613, 235 N.W. 846 (1931).
