The workers’ compensation system was originally envisioned as a safety net for injured workers. Does that premise still apply? Is such a system still required? Should it be expanded or reduced?
What will be an ideal response?
Although this question calls for an opinion, there are certain elements that an answer should contain. For one thing, the student should explain what is meant by a “safety net” and how the workers’ compensation system was never designed to be the last resort for an injured worker. Instead, it was seen as a supplement to insurance and other compensation that an injured worker might be entitled to receive.
