Introduction. The first workers' compensation laws were enacted in Texas in 1913 and held fast to the principle that employers should be allowed to choose whether to offer workers' compensation benefits to their employees.
Workersâ compensation laws protect people who are injured on the job. These laws are designed to ensure that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with fixed monetary awards. These laws also provide benefits for dependents of workers who are killed in work-related accidents or by work-related illnesses or diseases. There are, however, statutory limits on reporting and filing a claim, and there may be monetary limits on the workersâ comp benefits.
