The Connecticut Compensation Act
Beers, George
Beers, George
Abstract
Connecticut is a proverbially conservative State and rarely has been the first to take up innovations. In adopting an act providing compensation for injured workmen, she has had the advantage of the experience of other countries and other American States. More than three decades ago she took the same course in framing a system of reformed procedure and availed herself of the experiments which had gone before. The Workmen's Compensation Act will doubtless require and undergo important amendments before it reaches its final form. As it stands now, it represents some of the best features of the system which have proven themselves practical elsewhere, with changes designed to adapt it to Connecticut needs.
