In this Aftershow, host George Jack chats with Patrick Wraight, director of the Academy and instructor of the class, Workers’ Comp Crash Course. Patrick shares why he took on the topic, despite usually teaching other subjects, and breaks down the roots of workers’ comp from the industrial revolution to today’s state-by-state systems. They cover everything from monopolistic states and Texas’ unique opt-out system, to unusual occupational diseases, and even how COVID-19 was (or wasn’t) treated under comp claims.
