I have not written much in the last couple of weeks. It’s not that I don’t have much to say. In fact, I rarely “don’t have much to say.” It is just that the last few weeks have been extraordinarily busy, and I just haven’t found the time to pound out any of those words on the keyboard.  At least in some semblance of order anyone could understand. I have…

But in the end, simply “Abbie” ruled the day. Because most people active nationally in workers’ comp will immediately know who I am talking about. Abbie Hudgens, the Administrator of the Tennessee Bureau of Workers’ Compensation for the past…

| Categories: Simple Concepts by Bill Zachry

An ideal system serves the two primary stakeholders (the employer and the employee). An ideal system allows and encourages clear, concise, timely and accurate communication (in-person, phone, fax, text, app, semaphore, morse code, smoke signals) between all parties.  An ideal system provides a prompt provision of fixed and “fair” benefits to the legitimately injured worker within a no-fault system. An ideal system ensures that all workers are covered by the…
