Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Workmen's Compensation Acts in the United States, Vol. 1: The Legal Phase
While fundamentally affected by foreign examples, our state enactments are Sharply modified by local traditions, phraseology, and various political and social in?uences, as well as by constitutional limitations, which, in adapting the parent pattern to its environment, have produced many dissimilarities in detail and phraseology and in the consequent judicial and administrative construction. The resultant Obligation Of the employer to assure limited compensation for work injuries, and the reciprocal duty and right Of the employee to accept it, vary greatly, therefore, in different states. There is not only a decided lack Of uniformity in statutory language, but a decided legislative intent to produce varying degrees Of liability, with some decided differences of judicial Opinion as a consequence.
