I am not trying to sound like an asshole, really. I can understand why there is a Workers Comp system. I know there are dangerous jobs out there and that unforeseen things can happen. But in a lot of the cases that I have personally witnessed the blame could have solely been put on the person and not on the company they work for.

For instance with this dumbass on the tow motor. I could see him using HIS insurance if he has an injury because of his actions (not operating the tow motor correctly). Now for one of his co-workers that are walking buy with a cup of coffee and all of the sudden because of this guy they get hurt or killed, that is where Workers Comp should kick in.
First off, before you guys jump all over this poor guy and say he shouldn't get any workers comp, we have know idea why he drove into the shelves... could have been a mechanical issue with the tow motor:dunno he could have gone into insulin shock, WE DONT KNOW WHY. second, why the hell did the entire room fall down from one corner bracket? Those shelves must be grossly past their weight capacity... in which case the company had provided an unsafe work environment for its employees so save a few bucks.
