Workers Compensation for the Transportation Industry

Overview

Studies show that transportation is the second-most hazardous industry for workers compensation claims. While vehicle accidents are the most common causes of transportation industry injuries, airline employees experience the most injuries. This course deals with the federal laws that govern work-related injuries and illnesses and deals with stop gap insurance for monopolistic states and the federal laws that affect some transportation. It discusses the issues involved in insuring interstate operations under a state-based workers compensation system and examines the laws and federal acts affecting maritime transportation and insurance.
