The HMO's Missile Defense Background California's injured workers have been systematically deprived of life, liberty, and property by the Workers' Compensation system. If you are injured in California you will not be paid what it costs you, in spite of the assurance from everyone who gives you service or treatment that you have the right to be compensated. There is a cap on liability that will almost always lead to the funds running out in case of permanent disability. In fact, there is great competition among service providers to be first to spend the money, before the allotted funds are gone. The consequence is a massive violation of civil and human rights, as well as a multi-billion dollar financial obligation.
Statistics suggest that there are fewer people making workers' compensation claims.
The combination of California's behemoth adjudicative processes and physical atrophy from lack of timely medical intervention can do more to disable a victim than the initial injuries. And California is not the only State in trouble. And there is a prior history of research, reports, and reforms in the past. In spite of all this, things are getting worse. It is not clear how many attempts a State bureaucracy is allowed to make in order to stop doing harm.
