The effects of removing a statutory barrier to workers' compensation for farm workers.

In 1983 the Washington State Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional a unique exemption that excluded farm workers from workers' compensation if they had not earned $150 in continuous work with the same employer. In order to examine the effect of removing this restriction, workers' compensation data were analyzed to examine the number of farm workers covered, the number of claims submitted, and claim acceptance rates before and after the ruling. Although the 1983 ruling appears to have had a significant impact on the treatment of claims, no increase in utilization of the workers' compensation system was observed. Further intervention is required if the objective of treating farm workers equitably is to be realized.[1]
