Abstract
The year 1992 brought the most comprehensive workers' compensation reform legislation in two decades. Dramatic changes impact the amount and duration of temporary total disability benefits, the definition of change of condition, vocational rehabilitation services in noncatastrophic cases, and the return of subrogation by employers against third party tortfeasors, as well as many other changes in the workers' compensation system, as detailed below.
