In 1911, Wisconsin adopted a Workmen's Compensation Act. The intent of the law (Chapter 102 of the Wisconsin Statutes) was to require an employer to promptly and accurately compensate a worker for any injury suffered on the job, regardless of the existence of any fault or whose it might be.

Worker's compensation is protection mandated by state law for a worker and his or her dependents against injury and death occurring in the course of employment. It is not health insurance and is not intended to compensate for disability other than disability caused by injury arising out of employment. The purpose of the worker's compensation system is to provide financial and medical benefits to the victims of "work-related" injuries and their families regardless of fault.
