Workmen's Camp Insurance Flaw Highlighted by Sociologists
Two Columbia University researchers for a federal commission report that workmen's compensation fails to shield family income from disability. They find average pre accident earnings of 7363 dollars, with only 201.5 dollars a month in benefits, leaving families to replace most income. Inflation erodes purchasing power and benefits do not reflect household impact. They urge overhaul of laws and recommend private disability income protection, noting nonoverlap with private policies and delays in settlements.
