Aurora Power Company is subject to mandatory workers’ compensation laws in the states in which it does business. Beth and Doug work for Aurora as part of crew that travels to remote locations to repair downed power lines and other damaged equipment. At a distant site, Beth is injured in an accident that is entirely Doug’s fault. Beth files a claim for workers’ compensation. Should the claim be granted? What would be Aurora’s best defense against it?

Friendly Stranger..

Yes. The power company must pay the injured worker. Here is a description of the Workers Compensation law.

Workers' Compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with fixed monetary awards, eliminating the need for litigation.

Basically if a worker is injured on the site whether by another co-worker or on their own, the company must pay the injured worker because the worker injured is an employee of that organization and the organization is bound by this law.

Yes file the claim and they would have not defense.....accidents happen..........fault or no fault..............they will pay the claim.
