Abstract
Participants compensated through the workers' compensation system demonstrated a significant loss of days of work as compared with injured patients who received compensation by other means. This may be a reflection of the guaranteed method of compensation afforded to WC patients as opposed to patients who receive no form of financial support (ie, personal injury) during the recuperative process. Further analysis as to injury severity and a stratification of non-workers' compensation reimbursement methods are needed to further improve the validity of this study.
