The underlying rationale for worker's compensation is to provide a method for workers to resolve tort claims more easily with their employers. The resolution is for mutual benefit since the worker can get more immediate compensation for his injuries and the employer does not have to fight a risky tort action in court that can easily drain tens of thousands of dollars out of the company as well as get negative publicity.
