The Development Of The Workers’ Compensation System: Partial Vs. Comprehensive Solutions, Dr.Adnan Sarhan
UAEU Law Journal
The workers’ compensation Provision, originally included in the French Law of 1898 – which heavily influenced the labour Law in the UAE – once considered as a masterpiece of legal achievement , are now obsolete.
This is mainly due to the variations in the levels of the protection provided for in case of Civil accidents (such as traffic accidents) other than for injuries occurring in the scope of employment. In the first case, the victims are entitled to an expansive protection against the consequences of injuries, while injured workers have only the right to a lump sum compensation not exceeding …

Workers' Comp And Contagious Disease: History And Future, 2021 University of Michigan Law School
Workers' Comp And Contagious Disease: History And Future, Kate E. Britt
Law Librarian Scholarship
Modern workers’ compensation schemes set out to provide financial relief to employees who contract an occupational disease during employment, like miners contracting black lung or contractors exposed to asbestos. Certain professions are understood to stand a particular risk of exposure to contagious diseases. Health-care workers interact with persons carrying contagious disease as a matter of course. What workers’ compensation does not cover are diseases which are so prevalent they are considered an “ordinary disease of life.” These diseases, like the common cold, influenza, or pneumonia, could be contracted by persons regardless of their profession, and workers’ compensation acts generally limit …

A Regulatory Policy Strategy For Protecting Immigrant Workers, 2021 Vanderbilt University Law School
A Regulatory Policy Strategy For Protecting Immigrant Workers, W. Kip Viscusi, N. Marquiss
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Immigration has become a focal point of many political campaigns, most notably that of President Trump in 2016 and again in 2020. Populist rhetoric also decries immigrant workers for taking Americans' jobs and depressing wages for U.S.-born workers. Yet immigrants serve a constructive role by working in some of the most dangerous occupations in the country. It is well-known that immigrant workers, particularly those from Mexico with limited English language skills, face a higher workplace fatality rate than native workers. Efforts to reverse this trend have long been the focus of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which undertook …
The Functional Operation Of Workers’ Compensation Covid Presumptions, 2021 Saint Louis University School of Law
The Functional Operation Of Workers’ Compensation Covid Presumptions, Michael C. Duff
All Faculty Scholarship
During 2020, a number of U.S. states implemented workers' compensation COVID-19 presumptions. This short informal paper defines and explains legal presumptions generally and then discusses the workers' compensation presumptions. The paper contends that at this juncture it is not clear whether states intended to enact "Thayer-Wigmore" or "Morgan" presumptions; but if they operate as Thayer-Wigmore presumptions they will not do workers' compensation claimants much good in the context of non-jury proceedings presided over by administrative law judges.

This essay reviews Nate Holdren's Injury Impoverished: Workplace Accidents, Capitalism, and Law in the Progressive Era (Cambridge University Press, 2020), which explores the changes in legal imagination that accompanied the rise of workers' compensation programs. The essay foregrounds Holdren’s insights about disability. Injury Impoverished illustrates the meaning and material consequences that the law has given to work-related impairments over time and documents the naturalization of disability-based exclusion from the formal labor market. In the present day, with so many social benefits tied to employment, this exclusion is particularly troubling.

Compensation For Abused Foreign Domestic Workers: A Problem Of Enforcement, Benjamin Joshua Ong
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
In Tay Wee Kiat v Public Prosecutor [2018] 5 SLR 438; [2019] 5 SLR 1033, two offenders who had abused a foreign domestic worker had been ordered to pay her compensation, on pain of a default term of imprisonment. When they failed to pay, the Prosecution applied for the compensation order to be enforced by way of attachment of the offenders’ property or garnishment of debts due to the offenders (“garnishment/attachment orders”). The High Court refused to make garnishment/attachment orders on the grounds that (a) the Prosecution had applied for such orders belatedly; and (b) such orders would lead to …
