If You Need a Better Reason to Rebrand Workers’ Comp to Workers’ Recovery, This Is It

Long-time readers will know of my almost decade-long campaign to rebrand the workers’ comp industry. I have long believed that people entering the workers’ compensation system for the first time focus on the wrong things as it relates to their case.

On this site’s discussion forum, they will leave a long description of their recent accident, and inevitably end the post with a common question; ‘How much will I make?’ or ‘How big will my settlement be?’

For many of them, that question should be, ‘How do I make certain I am being given the best care?’ and ‘How can I get better and get back to living a normal life?’

It is not surprising, really. When you know absolutely NOTHING about workers’ compensation, and you must complete a workers’ compensation claim, see a workers’ compensation doctor, and are assigned a workers’ compensation adjuster, you are going to focus on the one word that means anything to you. Compensation.
