Description

In this course a wide range of topics are presented introducing the student to the basis and key aspects of workers' compensation in America, 

This session begins at the beginning. When did the concept of "workers' compensation," as we understand it today, first appear and how did it morph over time to the system we know today? The conversation begins much longer ago than imagined in America; takes a tour through pirate ships, Socialist Germany and Europe before ending in America.
