The main problem with workers’ compensation insurance is the fact that it is based on each state determining its own laws.
In last week’s case of the exotic dancer who was injured while working at a club in South Carolina, she did not receive any benefits because she was judged to be an independent contractor and not an employee.
But in Boston a suit brought against a night club was filed and the workers were deemed to be employees entitled to damages. They performed the same type of activity as the former dancer, but the result was different.
Workers’ compensation can bring about concerns.
