About This Event
The expansion of products liability law, which has taken place since the 1960s, ostensibly helps workers. Previously barred by workers’ compensation laws from bringing suits against manufacturers of defective products, workers can now sue for recovery from job injuries caused by these products. Research by Alexander (Sasha) Volokh of Harvard University indicates, however, that workers pay for this option in the form of reduced wages. Volokh’s research highlights the need to consider the impact of liability system reforms on the entire economy before implementing reforms.
