Why do you keep saying that? "Workman's comp". Is there no "workwoman's comp" in your state?

You are obviously still old-fashioned.

You are obviously a victim of excessive PC-ism and an inadequate education.

I suggest you look it up.

It is usually called either workman's compensation or workers' compensation.

What do they call it in your socially advanced state?

No way! Where Reba comes from ... Homeof SC GOV

It doesn't mention workman's comp at all. Where are you from? I can easily google it to see if your state still calls it workman's comp.

If you notice, I referred to it in my posts as workman's comp with lowercase "w" and "c", which means I was using the generic, long-established, commonly understood, abbreviated name for that kind of compensation.

I am also thinking that regardless of how the actually law states it "workman's comp" is still what is more likely to be heard in general conversation. And I would include a forum such as this in "general conversation."

I understand that old timers like you still use this term. However the link I left in my previous post shows that it's called worker's comp even in your state.

We don't call women who are selling "salesman", do we?

Sure we do.

I understand that overly PC-sensitive type people fret over such nonsense.

My son-in-law, not an old timer, has spent a lot of time involved in the whole compensation process, and he still refers to it as workman's comp. So what?

Do you worry about sexism when people use the words manhole or history? :roll:

Should a yeoman be called a yeoperson? It's ridiculous.

Guessing this man felt sort of "entitled"....and he got into Walmart with a loaded gun....feel he was just a fuse that would have went off any time...he needs to be locked up, double amputee or not....and hope the man that got shot will survive withoput any medical complications...very sad this happened!

The funny part is watching a male troll a female about PC labels while implying sexism. :laugh2:

Whatever... I just want to let you know that it has been changed. That's all.

Honestly, we, postal workers never mentioned workman's comp.

Oh wow, you are being overreacted, really overreacted. :aw:

Workman or work comp don't matter, so let Reba say about what she wants to call.

It's called "neutral risk" So if you're working at the office one night and stray bullets from a drive by hit you then it's going to be difficult to get benefits unless you can prove that work conditions increased the risk of being shot.

First you have risk associated with employment. This risk is covered. Then you have personal risk (such as smoking cigarettes on the job and getting lung cancer) that is not covered. Then you have neutral risk such as getting shot at Walmart.

Jurisdictions differ so I'm not claiming to know for sure.

The problem being is Mr. Mahi was gutshot. If he survives, comp will pay his medical bills and lead him into a ten dollar an hour job through vocational rehab or(heavy on the or) kind of settlement. The settlement will be based on what percent his doctor says he is disabled. He is in the prime of his earning years here, those things will not replace the real income he has lost and the possible destruction of future potential. Once he signs that claim form he is going to get only what his circumstance will be compensated for as dictated by the State of Alaska.
It depends on the true and proveable circumstances, Mr. Mahi himself, and whether or not he already signed that on the line.

Unless you accidently quoted the wrong person I'm confused as to what you're saying has to do with what I am saying. My point was that people often belive that just because they where hurt at work that they are entitled to workers comp but this is not always true.

If they got injury at work and are not entitled to worker's comp, how do they pay bills?
