employers' liability

Read a random definition: direct notice

A quick definition of employers' liability:

Employers' liability is a system that provides benefits to employees who get injured while working. This system is also known as workers' compensation. It holds the employer responsible for the injury and prevents the employee from suing the employer. Workers' compensation laws were created to protect employees from the consequences of work-related injuries. Employees no longer have to prove that their employer was negligent to get compensation, they just need to show that the injury happened while they were working.

A more thorough explanation:

Employers' liability is a term used to describe the legal responsibility of an employer to provide compensation to an employee who is injured while performing their job duties. This is also known as workers' compensation.

Under workers' compensation laws, an employer is held strictly liable for any injuries that occur in the scope of employment. This means that the employer is responsible for providing benefits to the injured employee, regardless of who was at fault for the accident.

For example, if a construction worker falls off a ladder and is injured while working on a job site, the employer would be responsible for providing workers' compensation benefits to cover the worker's medical expenses and lost wages.

Workers' compensation laws were designed to provide employees with protection against the consequences of employment-related injuries. This means that injured workers no longer have to establish negligence on the part of their employer in order to obtain legal redress. They simply have to demonstrate that their injuries arose out of and during the course of their employment.
