I was accurate, but you are partially right, I stopped a bit short of your full position. Here it is in summary:
1. If employer and employee agree via an impartial arbitrator on whether there was "negligence," then there is no need for a case. Non negligent employers are off the hook, negligent employers pay, assuming the parties agree.
2. If they can't agree whether the employer was "negligent"(probably 99% of the time), the case gets dumped into the traditional fault-based liability system that you love so much (no word on what happens if its a fellow employee that is negligent, but what's a few details between friends?)
3. If the employer is found "not negligent" the taxpayers pay for the cost of care and lost wages for the injured employee and his family (with no increase in taxes, I'm sure, what's a few trillion additional deficit between friends?)
4. The cost of all of this is borne by "ABD"**
How's I do?
