	Ashcraft & Gerel - Attorneys for Workers' Compensation Claims - Lawyers in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
		Workers' Compensation is a no-fault system of social legislation, first instituted in the United States shortly after the turn of the century, in response to serious societal problems caused by a dramatic rise in the number of people injured in industrial settings.
		Workers' Compensation varies from state to state, so it is important to consult with an experienced workers' compensation attorney in the state in the state of the injury, but there are many features that are fairly common to a typical workers' compensation statute.
		However, comp laws generally permit the attorney for the injured worker to challenge whether the status of the employee was that of employee, rather than independent contractor, and an adjudicatory officer in a workers' compensation claim may overrule the employer's characterization of the worker as an independent contractor.
