ProPublica, an independent, non-profit newsroom producing investigative journalism has written an article detailing the disastrous effects of a workers’ compensation system that doesn’t benefit workers. It’s heartbreaking. The article details the real-life consequences of ineffective workers’ compensation systems that have been scaled back over the years.
The Californian workers’ compensation system is infamous for its complexity. Worse, according to ProPublica, since 2003, California’s work comp has been continuously gutted to the point where California is one of the worst states in the country to be an injured worker.
