Work-injury policies were historically known as “workmen’s compensation”, "workman's compensation" and sometimes “accident insurance” among policymakers and scholars. The data include year of introduction of first laws, the types of laws, coverage of blue-collar workers and steps on the path to social insurance laws.enCC BY-NC-ND 4.0 (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Work-Injury LawWelfare StateAccident InsuranceWorkmen's CompensationWorkman's CompensationSocial InsuranceIndustrial Revolution300Bericht, Report10.26092/elib/2177urn:nbn:de:gbv:46-elib68383
