A Brief Note On Compensation On Death, Missing, Injury, Families

Thank you for the signed retainer with our firm to handle your Workers’ Compensation Medical Provider Applications. The Workers’ Compensation Court allows us to recover for authorized and emergency treatment on behalf of your patients through the Workers’ Compensation Court. In our experience, most of these cases have been resolved amicably with the insurance carrier. However, there are various issues that we encounter as a part of our representation of Medical Providers in Workers’ Compensation Court.

Nothing can prepare a family for an unexpected death. The toll it takes has devastating emotional consequences. To make matters worse, there are practical problems that often arise. The deceased may have incurred large medical bills before they died. The death requires a burial which can cost the surviving family members more than expected. Also, if the deceased provided income for the family, the struggle to keep their lives going can be almost impossible. When the death was caused by an act of negligence, there are terms for the surviving family members to bring forward a wrongful death claim.

The article, “The Case for Reparations”, presents itself with a commendable representation on how the need for reparations is essential when combined with the brutal history of slavery and progression of blacks in American Society after slavery. Ta- Nehisi Coates argues that the relationship between racial identity and reparations is based upon America’s debt to blacks for the countless years of injustice. With this he demonstrates how white supremacy has ultimately used impractical measures to maintain what they consider social stability for those who were not African American.

As Director of Human Resources for Wilson Bros, the conclusions that I draw with respect to the status of the company’s compensation strategies is that they lack security for their employee’s compensation and lack flexibility to the changing economy, competitive environment, and growing organizational needs.

TORTS laws offer compensation to individuals harmed by the unreasonable actions of others. TORTS claims are based on the legal premise that a person(s) is liable for the consequences of their conduct if it results in injury to others. In education-related cases, the most common TORT is negligence. Recently, several cases have occurred whereby negligence and bullying are interconnected with students suing their schools for failing to enforce anti-bullying policies and causing injury to their well being. A current case includes Maya Williams suing her former high school for negligence in regards to the enforcement of their anti-bullying policy. By looking into a precedent case, elements of negligence, and how bullying affects a student, we

In Coates’ piece of writing, A Case of Reparations, he states that reparation is a means of full acceptance of our collective biography and its consequences, and is the price we must pay to see ourselves squarely; ' 'Perhaps no statistic better illustrates the enduring legacy of our country 's shameful history of treating black people as sub-citizens, sub-Americans, and sub-humans than the wealth gap. Reparations would seek to close this chasm. ' ' There are three major aspects in Coates’ article that have caught my attention: the stories of unknown people who are alive today, emphasis on black works establishing wealth, and the lack of emphasis on emotional harms of discrimination (Ben Mathis-Lilley, slate.com). Having read this article concerning his arguments for reparations and citing the history of oppression, I am writing to express my opinion towards his assertion that justice should finally be served to people of color with a form of compensatory payment. Although he composes several arguments in which supports his declaration, I have to partially agree with it. Yes, there must be amends towards black people for shaping, and maybe even building, this country, but there are other matters that require our attention to a great extent like world hunger, sex trafficking or sexual misconduct, extreme poverty, and/or hopelessness. Despite being the biggest

“Given modern medical knowledge, legal claims for wrongful life are inevitable. The common law must therefore now provide a satisfactory response and this it could easily achieve”. Discuss this statement critically.

As a disaster setback in you might be met all requirements for compensation to cover you remedial and recuperation cost, property repair or swap costs and pay for your enthusiastic inconvenience. If your injuries relinquish you by chance or for record-breaking disabled, you might be met all requirements for pay for your lost wages. Once in a while, accident losses in Texas might be qualified to recover reformatory damages which serve to rebuke the at-issue social event was awfully thoughtless.

State governments should provide compensation to the wrongfully convicted because it is their system that wasted the lives and took everything from these people. In “Reparations/Compensation for the Wrongfully Convicted: Overview”, by Tsin Yen Koh, we see the early process of compensation laws and its history followed by our current laws and its different ways of registering for these reparations. The article first tells about how people began to notice wrongful convictions after a man first looked into one of these cases. Then, people noticed the wide range of mistaken sentences and began to use DNA tests to support these claims. After the majority of these inmates had the same wrongful story, George W. Bush passed a law that would help with

Dennis Whedbee’s crew moved quickly to prepare an oil well for pumping on the Sweet Grass Woman lease site, an area of vast plains teeming with crude oil in North Dakota. It was a mundane fall day in September of 2012, and Whedbee, a derrickhand, was helping remove a pipe fitting from the well when it suddenly burst. Oil pressurized at more than 700 pounds per square inch spewed out of the well, hitting Whedbee and instantly ripping off his arm below the elbow (Grabell et al.). Little did Whedbee know that the worst was yet come when he would struggle with laws restricting his workers’ compensation benefits for years to come. Whedbee is not the only one who has faced these difficulties. Over the past few decades,

Crime Victims United of California is an organization which helps the victims of violent or serious crime to regain normalcy within their lives. Besides helping individual victims, they also are legislative activists helping support laws which support victims. According to the group, they use education and legislative advocacy to promote public safety and to make people aware of what are their rights when they are victimized by crime. Within the parameters of their programs for victims, CVUC provides psychological treatment as well as support emotionally and, if needed, financially to help people. They provide everything from a place to stay if they are psychologically or physically unable to return to their homes to education on what their rights are as a victim of a crime. These are limited as the primary focus of the group is in pushing forward legislation to protect people and also in providing legal representation to those who otherwise might not have representation or are reliant on legal representatives without expertise or particular interest in the case at hand. The attorneys and legal authorities working with CVUC are focused on advocating for the victim in terms of financial remuneration and also in representing the victim within the courtroom setting and in protecting the victim from being forced to interact with the perpetrator of the crime later on, such as in parole hearings where a victim is forced to relive

Bangladesh is one of the world 's most densely populated countries, with its people crammed into a delta of rivers that empties into the Bay of Bengal (BBC, 2015). Poverty is widespread, where many people suffer from malnutrition, especially in the rural areas. The structural failure of the Rana Plaza collapse, an eight-story commercial building, occurred on 24 April 2013 in the Savar Upazila of Dhaka, Bangladesh. This resulted in 1,137 confirmed dead at Rana Plaza, and over a year later 200 are still missing (Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, 2015). The issue is an ethical issue which has affected many lives in Bangladesh and resulted in western civilisation demanding change. The ethical issue involves around a Bangladesh man Sohel Rana, and western clothing companies, specifically the company it manufactured for, Canadian fashion brand Joe Fresh (Forbes, 2013).
