Download or read book Employer Liability for Workplace Trauma written by Des Butler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002.This book offers an intriguing examination of the law concerning liability for psychiatric injury suffered by employees in the workplace. Included among these are employees confronting the risk of death or injury in the course of their normal employment, such as police or fire-fighters, those confronting death or injury out of their ordinary course of employment, such as accidents at work, and those possibly exposed to health-threatening circumstances, such as dust in the workplace. Also considered are employees who suffer mental health problems resulting from environmental factors, such as bullying, overwork and disciplinary measures. The amount of damages recovered in such actions can be substantial and this book examines the extent of the employer’s liability, as well as providing a psychiatric medicine perspective and a detailed analysis of the current state of the law in England, Wales and Australia.

Book excerpt: This large-scale comparative study analyses the two principal mechanisms employed in modern legal systems to deal with the social problem of occupational illness and injury, namely, employers' liability and workers' compensation. It provides a detailed description of the systems in operation in twelve countries around the world, investigating the complex legal structures and the interaction with other social institutions, as well as their inter-jurisdictional coordination through private international law.

Download or read book Compensation for Stress at Work written by David Marshall and published by Jordan Publishing (GB). This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress at work has become the second biggest cause of work-place absence. Employees now increasingly seek legal remedies for psychiatric injury at work and employers face cost and risk. This practitioner's guide examines the problem of psychiatric injury at work and the overlapping rights in employment law and personal injury law. Compensation for Stress at Work begins with an examination of the common law principles clarified by the Court of Appeal in Hatton v Sutherland, and developed in subsequent case law, followed by statutory liability for harassment and then goes on to look at the causes of action available in the employment tribunal. There then follows analysis of how the principles of foreseeability and causation operate in each type of action, what remedies are available to claimants, the limitation periods for such cases and how this operates where there are overlapping claims. The work concludes with more practical chapters on cost and funding, sick pay and permanent health insurance, and tactics in practice. Expertly drafted precedent material is provided in the appendices, including model client letters, CFA agreements, compromise agreements and Tomlin order.

This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on what are workplace injuries, demystifies the different types of workplace injuries, reveals the various causes of workplace injuries, and delineates the problems with contracting a workplace injury. Succinctly stated, workplace injuries are injuries that transpire at the workplace. Succinctly stated, workplace injuries are injuries that transpire at the workplace. Working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite which are conducive to inducing workplace injuries at the employer’s jobsite renders a person all the more prone to contracting workplace injuries. The more hazardous that the employee working conditions are at the employer’s jobsite, the higher the probability that a person who works a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand at the employer’s jobsite is at to contract a workplace injury. Succumbing to a workplace injury cannot only be a traumatic experience that causes immense distress, but can also be a harrowing experience that can potentially render a person maimed. If a person becomes maimed as a result of having worked a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand in an industry that has hazardous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite which are conducive to inducing workplace injuries at the employer’s jobsite, then it can severely undermine his well-being and can also adversely impinge on his quality of life. If a person becomes maimed as a result of having worked a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand in an industry that has dangerous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite which are conducive to inducing workplace injuries at the employer’s jobsite, then it can also render it far more cumbersome for him to be able to perform basic functions. Having a vessel that is severely maimed can render a person all the more vulnerable to experiencing chronic inflammation. Nothing beneficent can ever ensue from succumbing to becoming maimed. Succumbing to severe workplace injuries can severely ravage the vessel. Working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite which are conducive to inducing workplace injuries at the employer’s jobsite imperils a person every employee shift and renders it a perilous undertaking for a person to sustain working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions at the employer’s jobsite. The type of real private sector job based on voluntary demand that a person works will have bearing on determining his working conditions. For instance, the working conditions are vastly disparate for digital entrepreneurs than they are for people who work real private sector employee jobs based on voluntary demand in the manufacturing industry, warehousing industry, retail industry, restaurant industry, and customer service industry. A person should abstain from working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions. By desisting from working a real private sector employee job based on voluntary demand that has hazardous employee working conditions, a person is able to significantly reduce the likelihood that he will get maimed from a workplace injury. It is significantly easier to perform basic functions when you have a vessel that is not maimed than it is to do so when you have a vessel that is maimed. Having a vessel that is not maimed can also render a person all the less prone to experiencing chronic inflammation in contexts in which a person follows health optimization measures and also always abstains from engaging in any insalubrious activities that can adversely wreak havoc against any facet of his health. Having a vessel that is not maimed can render it all the more easier for a person to engage in moderate intensity exercises for the prospect of reaping the health benefits of exercising. Having a vessel that is not maimed can also render it all the more of a viability for a person to play matches in competitive sports leagues. It stands to preponderantly reason that having a vessel that is not maimed can immensely redound to a person’s advantage in a multitude of disparate ways.
Download or read book Employer Liability for Supervisors Intentional Torts written by Michael Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Illinois employees are the victims of intentional torts by supervisors, can they bring common law tort suits against their employers for these injuries, or are they limited to bringing a claim under the workers' compensation system? This question, which arises with unfortunate reguIarity, lacks a clear answer because both state and federal courts in Illinois are divided over the scope of the "alter ego" exception to the exclusivity of workers' compensation as the remedy for intentionally inflicted workplace injuries. The Illinois Workers' Compensation Act ("IWCA") contains exclusivity provisions that mandate that workers' compensation is the sole remedy available to employees for workplace injuries. There are exceptions to the exclusivity rule, including the principle that the rule does not apply if the injury is not accidental.
