Description

Workers' Compensation Law: Cases, Materials, and Text 5th Edition Lex K. Larson ISBN 9780769870007

The Fifth Edition of Workers’ Compensation Law combines a traditional casebook approach with clear, concise explanatory text. Core workers’ compensation principles—such as course and scope of employment, injuries arising out of employment, accidental injury, and employee status—are presented through carefully selected case excerpts that allow students to learn doctrine directly from the courts. This edition retains the depth and rigor of earlier editions while expanding coverage to reflect contemporary developments in the field.

New and enhanced materials address a range of timely and practical issues, including:

  • Eligibility for benefits by undocumented workers

  • Compensability of claims arising from terrorist attacks

  • Psychological stress and mental injury claims

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive-motion injuries

  • The interaction between workers’ compensation and the Americans with Disabilities Act

  • Selection and control of medical providers

  • Unique challenges associated with working from home

  • The growing use of mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution

  • Recent changes involving Second Injury Funds

  • Exclusivity doctrines and the substantial certainty rule

An accompanying Teacher’s Manual mirrors the organization of the casebook and offers additional pedagogical guidance to support effective classroom use.
