The article discusses the increasing efforts in workers compensation legislation to cover the impact of psychological injuries in the workplace. Most workers' compensation systems were originally designed to address dangerous workplace accidents. The 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire led to the creation of workers' Compensation laws, which eliminated the requirement to prove employer negligence in court. As of January 2024, 31 states have allowed workers to file claims for mental health related traumas even without a physical injury. This shift in workplace risks has led to an increase in psychological injury claims across the US, with California seeing a 25% increase since 2022. The article also discusses efforts to expand coverage for mental trauma and stress-related conditions, which have been identified as injuries that are compensable under workers compensation schemes.
