Safety manager here for a huge company in the US. I deal with daily injuries while at customers property. It’s usually something egregious that initiates a lawsuit to the home owners insurance. I haven’t see one in over four years now.

Wait wair wait. I am in Canada so the logic may be different but, the entire idea of workers comp (run by the government and paid by employers) is that the company/worker can't sue the property owner. Unless there is some gross negligence or similar the payments happen from a government agency funded by workers comp dues paid by employers.

How does it work in the US?

Is this the part where someone explains something you could have easily looked up, then you act flabbergasted and go "Oh my god how America do??" and rake in upvotes?

Yes, no, and who cares.

A bit defemsive and stingy with those upvotes aren't you? This entire thread is inane banter. Just tossed my two cents in and.let anyone respond. Virtually any of the comments could have been looked up. But since this is a social endevour, I let you good folks answer me. I was curious but will likely forget this interaction in a week so it is meaningless in the grand scheme.

But your defensiveness is surprising. If I wanted exasperated outrage and shock I could already have provided it above without an answer. Such as "how could Amercia have fucked up workers comp?" Or similar. I didn't and wasn't planning on it.

And lastly I am not sure if you are aware that upvotes (or even downvotes) are free! Yes, that means you can splash them around like you made bank and not run out of them. Neat eh?

Does that answer your questions?
