  • Examination of the roles of juries, fault attribution, and medicolegal discourse.

    • Main Results:

    • The compensation phenomenon involves a deep inquiry into workers' bodies to assess harm.
    • Juries, fault attribution, and medicolegal discourse are central to determining compensation.
    • The system reflects a class conflict over the meaning and value of work-related injuries.
