especially those that are self-insured.
I know a woman who was poisoned by chemicals that came from a lab at her job - at a huge lumber company. The attorney for the company began her questioning by asking the woman what was it like when she was diagnosed with an STD years ago. They have access to all medical records.
The huge lumber company did not have to pay her workers comp or her medical costs - they just destroyed her until she gave up and went on welfare.

Hanford (nuclear waste) has large numbers of very ill workers who were poisoned on the job. They did not get workers comp either. A company was hired to destroy them with lies and denials. Young working adults who were reduced to being invalids. It took a local TV station to get the company fired so who knows how it will go. Some have already died.
