Synopsis
Understanding how workers get paid when injuries happen and why laws changed the balance of risk between employers and employees.
This book traces the long, complex journey from early common-law rules to modern compensation schemes. It explains how courts and lawmakers reshaped responsibility for workplace injuries across Canada, Britain, and Germany, and how these ideas reached North American policy.
Through historical context and practical details, you’ll see how the doctrine of common employment gave way to modern insurance-like systems. The text surveys the major stages, notable cases, and the arguments for and against different approaches to compensation and employer liability.
- How common-law concepts influenced early employer–employee liability.
- The key stages of compensation development, including early acts and later reforms.
- Comparison of approaches in Britain, Germany, and North America, with Canadian focus.
- Practical features of contemporary acts: eligibility, coverage, and administration.
Ideal for readers of legal history and policy debates on workplace safety and social insurance.
