In 1902 Maryland passed workers
compensation law; this was the first compensation law for workers in the United
States. This law covered all federal employees. If they were to get hurt on a
job, they would get medical attention. And get payments about 2/3 of their
paycheck to replace lost income. This was setup to protect workers and their
rights.
If
they did not receive compensation for something that wasn’t his fault. Didn’t
receive anything to help with hospital bills and if he can’t work for a while
how can he get help to pay bills or rent. Maryland thought of these answers and
found that workers compensation was the best way to go. Because of this law
passed in 1902 in Maryland. People now have the help that they need from the
government, they can now relax.
