This classic law school text by Arthur Larson has been thoughtfully updated and reorganized by Lex K. Larson. This work is a blend of conventional casebook style and concise text. The basic concepts of workers’ compensation – course of employment, arising out of employment, injury "by accident," employee status, etc. – are covered in the more traditional fashion, with case excerpts provided for students to learn these concepts. This Workers' Compensation Law preserves the essential and thorough treatment of these basic aspects while adding or expanding material on current topical issues, such as:
Psychological stress claims; Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other repetitive-motion injuries; Interplay of Workers’ Compensation with the Americans With Disabilities Act; Choice of medical provider; Special problems of working at home; Use of mediation and other alternative dispute resolution techniques; Recent developments with Second Injury Funds; and Exclusivity and the "substantial certainty" rule
