Move towards Modern Laws
Though with time worker compensation was forgotten
entirely and only remained in history as a great Lord’s
merciful trait, the move towards modern compensation
laws originated from Prussia. It was under the prodigious
direction from Otto von Bismarck that led towards modern
day compensation laws for workers. Due to his convictions
and stern pragmatism, he was able to pull off what can be
said as the first modern system to reflect worker’s
compensation by supporting Worker’s Accident Insurance of
1884 and formulating it into existence.
