Larson's Workers' Compensation Law is the premier resource for analysis of workers' compensation law. Comprehensive and authoritative, Larson's Workers' Compensation Law is used by state commissions and cited, with great frequency, by courts across the country.
Since 1952, Larson's Workers' Compensation Law has been the most trusted name in workers' compensation legal analysis. Originally written by Arthur Larson (1910-1993), the James B. Duke Professor of Law at Duke University Law School and an Under Secretary of Labor, Larson's Workers' Compensation Law is now guided by noted legal experts Lex K. Larson and Thomas A. Robinson.
Larson's Workers' Compensation Law provides:
• The now standard framework by which workers’ compensation is organized and understood;
• The nuts and bolts of workers’ compensation as well as newly developing areas of the law;
• Discussions of the variations in state law and consequences;
• A variety of local practices, grouping states that agree on a particular pattern of law;
• Quick access by legal principle and fact situation indexing;
• Up-to-date, detailed case summaries for comparison of facts and holdings;
• Discussion about the interaction of workers’ compensation with other laws, for example the Americans with Disabilities Act, Social Security, and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
Speed your research with complementary practice aids. With Larson's Workers' Compensation Law, you receive the “Digest” feature, which expedites access to cases by jurisdiction, and helpful state-by-state comparisons of substantive statutory provisions are also included.
