Across America, businesses both large and small continue to confront the rising costs of workers' compensation insurance. Workplace injuries can be avoided and their impact on a company and on the injured worker can be minimized. In Understanding Workers' Compensation: Managing Workplace Injuries and Lowering Costs John W. Valente, J.D., explains the basics of workers' compensation and outlines strategies for taking some of the aggravation out of the process. |
While not providing legal advice, Valente reviews the cost of workers' compensation, the anatomy of the claim, litigation effect on the workplace, workplace safety concerns, investigation of workplace accidents and returning the injured worker to work. This book gives valuable insight into the world of workplace injuries, a world that many enter into but few understand. This book provides information that allows the business owner, manager, human resources professional or supervisor to begin the internal discussion of how to manage workplace injuries.
