Consequently, in the process I learned about workers’ comp, honestly I had no idea about workers’ compensation insurance.

    This also could have included shooting pain in both the arms and legs. I had the doctor confirm that he never received a history from the claimant of the discrete incident on 12/15/16. I tried to push the doctor off of his opinion on causal relationship, pointing out that there were two different histories of work related injuries but the doctor was insistent that it really did not matter because he felt this was really due to the claimant’s job. He said there might have been an incident that aggravated symptoms but he felt it was part of the heavy duty work the claimant was doing. The doctor did confirm that the claimant was released to return to work without any restrictions on 06/05/17 as he had an excellent result from his surgery.

    When applying this concept to a workplace scenario, you notice that an employer is the one who is entitled to any liabilities due to improper doings or negligence of duty doe by the employees. However, it is important to understand that vicarious liability can only be effective if it can be proven that the underlying liabilities were caused by actions within the course of employment operations (Giliker, 2011). For example, in Johnson v. Cornejo, Johnson sued Cornejo and Keep On Trucking Company (KNOT) for injuries caused due to a collision between a trailer truck and two passenger vehicles. Both Cornejo and KNOT were held responsible for vicarious liability since the multiple damages caused to the plaintiff occurred under the scope of employment (Johnson v. Cornejo, 2012). Similar to Diaz v. Carcamo, the Sugar Transport will be accountable for vicarious liability for the damages caused by Carcamo occurred within the scope of employment duty (Diaz v. Carcamo, 2010).

    According to Section 217 of the New York Worker’s Compensation Act of 1910, employers were required by law to compensate their employees if a personal injury were to result from their occupation. However, this law only applied to specific types of dangerous labor, including “demolition, blasting, tunneling, electrical construction, and railroad operation.” In 1910, making shirtwaists was not considered a dangerous activity, so victims’ families of the fire could not expect to receive any compensation from the accident.
