> No, it's not. Yes it is. If there's a body, and a claim, unless it is an act of God, there is never any dispute. In these cases, payment is automatic. There may be a separate lawsuit for unlawful death or pain and suffering or anything under the sun, but the workers comp claim is automatically approved and paid. > There is distinct law and legal process around workers comp... What you're talking about is convention. Convention is not law, it is merely an arbitrarily adopted process. This is not a subset of personal injury law, it is personal injury law. > the claim I took issue with. Let's get back to the statistics (which obliterate your objection): only 7% of workers comp claims are denied. Only 5% get to an appeal hearing, and only a tiny fraction resolve in lawsuit. 93% of all workers comp claims are accepted outright without a fight. If 93% of all claims are accepted outright, then the notion that workers comp lawyers exist means there's always, often, or usually a fight (oops, missed your fallacy assuming the conclusion) is false. In fact, the verifiable truth is nearly all claims are accepted and paid without dispute, as 93% is nearly all. Disagree all you wish, it is your right, but you will continue to be mistaken.
