Do no harm: Who should bear the costs of retired NFL players’ medical bills?
So we're having this conversation again. Most of you apparently want to argue principle over the law. Workers' compensation is the law. Repeal the law if you don't like it, but it is the law. Workers' compensation is paid by employers as an insurance like disability. Many injuries or medical complications occur long after medical science understands the science involved. That is why there are many claims granted 10 to 30 years after the employee leaves service with that employer.
However, I must observe that most of you are just wasting your time expressing your opinion here because you know diddly poo about workers' compensation law. So go ahead and talk yourself silly, but understand this, many employers are financially responsible for injuries to their employees regardless of whether the risks were known by one or both parties at the time of employment.
Come at me if you will for being harsh to you posters, but unless you are a labor lawyer your opinion is just another one of the uninformed and not helping anyone.
