For those interested in learning more about Workers Compensation insurance, here is a list of books that might be useful and/or interesting:

Workers Compensation: A Field Guide for Employers
Alright, I know it's perhaps immodest to put my own book at the top of the list, but I really do think that, for many readers, it may be the best combination of technical information and accessibility.

The Accidental Republic
I know I mentioned this book the other day, but it really does a superb job of explaining the history of how Workers Compensation got started in the U.S.

Workers Compensation Guide
This somewhat slim book does a good job of explaining the standard WC policy, although the list price is very high for what you get. The technical language may also be a bit dry for the lay reader.

Workers Compensation A Reference and Guide
Another somewhat pricey but useful book, also somewhat technical in its approach.

Workers Compensation Benefits, Costs and Safety under Alternative Insurance Arrangements
Another pricey and technical book, although I see there are inexpensive versions available either used or as an ebook. Some useful information here, though.

Fallen Giant
This book isn't focused on Workers Compensation insurance, but rather on one of the titans of the insurance industry (and one of the most controversial insurers in existence, and its equally controversial founder.) I found it very interesting reading, though.

That's it for the moment. Happy reading. Oh, and when you've had your fill of reading about insurance, I might also modestly recommend something completely different:

Cosa Nosferatu
My own strange little novel featuring Al Capone, Eliot Ness, and the Undead. Has nothing to do with Workers Compensation, for better or for worse.
