ProPublica and NPR Document the ‘Demolition of Workers’ Comp’
The safety net created to protect injured workers and their families is being dismantled state by state.
Cutbacks to workers’ compensation benefits have been so dramatic in some states that they “virtually guarantee” that an injured worker will “plummet into poverty,” according to an investigation by ProPublica and NPR. Thirty-three states have cut benefits to workers injured or made ill by work, or have made it more difficult to qualify for benefits.
