Th...This could become the 'slippery slope'. There is a time to use the 'exclusive rememdy'. That is when the injury is AOE/COE. Asserting the exclusive remedy to thwart other legitimate claims for damages is wrong and it attacks the integrity of the system.<br /><br />The same holds true for 'cost shifting'. If a CT claim arises AOE/COE, it is proper. If not, it does not belong in the work comp arena.<br /><br />Manipulating the system either way to achieve a desired outcome that doesn't fit within the narrow scope and definitions of either case is the wrong thing to do. <br /><br />We have rules for a reason. Bending the rules to achieve a 'better, more desireable' outcome is a bad thing to start and a worse thing to carry on. After all, who gets to decide when and where the 'greater good' can be served by using the system?billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030231757371541081noreply@blogger.com
