Did you know that before workers' compensation laws existed, injured employees had to sue their employers and prove fault to receive any help—a process most workers lost? This comprehensive course explores the evolution of the U.S. workers' compensation system from its origins following the tragic 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire to today's structured no-fault coverage that protects both employees and employers. You'll learn essential concepts including compensability criteria, insurance acquisition methods, employee responsibilities for injury reporting and workplace safety, and the types of benefits available during recovery and return-to-work processes. The course concludes with detailed coverage of Florida-specific workers' compensation laws, including employer obligations, coverage requirements, safety program mandates, and fraud prevention measures that ensure compliance with state regulations.
