Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Malingering and Feigned Sickness The sympathy of everyone is naturally with the sick and suffering, and anything which may, at first sight, appear to deny that feeling, is liable to misconstruction. So that no misapprehension may exist as to the object of this book, this foreword is penned. Many deserving cases do not receive proper consideration because unworthy persons have had expended upon them the sympathy and help which are the legitimate right of the true sufferer. Those who by law are responsible for the results of accidents, in the causation of which they have had no part or lot, should not be subjected to greater burdens than those which their misfortunes have imposed. True it is that in many instances the loss is made good by an insurance company; but, though corporations may have "no soul to be saved or body to be kicked," it is to be remembered that they are composed of individuals to whom the ultimate loss is a serious consideration. The cost of insuring against accidents to industrial workers is now far in excess of the actuarial estimates upon which the Compensation Acts were based; and a study of the statistics in relation to non-fatal accidents shows an increase in the number of those accidents since the advent of this legislation, which cannot be accounted for even by the speeding-up of machinery and the conditions of modern labour. Malingering and dishonesty must have had an influence in raising the figures to their present abnormal height. Naturally the amount of compensation paid is reflected in the premiums demanded, therefore, unless unjust claims are sternly repressed, the burden upon the community will be greater than it legitimately should be.
