Torts and Compensation: Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury (American Casebook Series)

This book focuses primarily on personal injury torts, including common law tort solutions. Yet, most injuries in America are redressed through alternative means, such as workers' compensation, social security, or private insurance. A picture of injury law, therefore, includes those topics and they remain a part of the current edition. Although the economic tort materials provided in this book are limited core materials, they suffice to help readers recognize that tort law is not exclusively injury law, but involves much more.
