• Workers' compensation is the oldest form of no-fault insurance?

  
  

Before workers' compensation law was established, there was little recourse for workers injured on the job. A worker could sue in court, but had to prove negligence. The outcome was uncertain and could take years to resolve. This was costly both to the employer and the worker, often with little benefit to either party.  The evolutionary move toward workers' compensation began during the Industrial Revolution as mechanization brought an increase in work-related injuries.  It was a new legal concept, liability without regard to fault.  First established in Germany in 1856 and adopted soon after by England and most of Western Europe, workers' compensation was enacted in Colorado in 1915. By 1920, all but eight states had workers' compensation laws.  The last state mandated workers' compensation coverage in 1947
