Solving the Puzzle
The System
The workers’ compensation system is premised on a trade-off between employees and employers — employees are supposed to promptly receive the limited statutory workers’ compensation benefits for on-the-job injuries, and in return, the limited workers’ compensation benefits are the exclusive remedy for injured employees against their employer, even when the employer negligently caused the injury.

Although this concept is simple, the law makers and insurance industry have found a way to make this costly and extremely difficult to implement.
Employers have found that the overall costs of their workers’ compensation have become a significant line item on their financial statements; however, it is the one line item that has been mismanaged by third parties.
The recent California legislature has taken the initiative to implement laws that would assist in gaining control of these costs; however, they failed to provide the necessary tools.
