AB Virtually  every  industrialized  country  provides  legislated  entitlements  to  workers  or  their  survivors  to  assist  them  in  the  event  of  an  occupational  injury  or  illness.  Workers’  compensation  systems  are  designed  to  ensure  that  the  injured  worker  receives  immediate  medical  care,  and  that  the  injured  worker  also  receives  prompt  but  limited  benefits  to  replace  lost  wages.  Workers’  compensation  provides  only  part  of  the  entitlement,  with  the  rest—particularly  for  long-term  disability—contributed  indirectly  through  the  country’s  social  security  system.  Workers’  compensation  insurance  assigns  sure  and  predictable,  “no-fault”  liability  to  the  employer.
