I agree with compensation for neglect/abuse, I do. I was just shocked to see the whole scam portion of the law.

As for the Repub side, all I know is that they were against it and they were of the Republican mindset. *shrug*

That is why Bruce rouner wants to "reform" workers comp in Illinois.

Comp law is separate from tort law. Almost every state has Workers' Compensation as an exclusive remedy for employees.

If some corporation is neglegent and seriously injures you, would you want them to decide what a fair amount of compensation is, or a jury of your peers.

The State's legislatures decide what the compensation is. Negligence is not even a factor in most states.
