Workers’ Compensation for Non-fatal Construction Accidents: Review of Court Cases in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is notorious for her high construction accident rates. Although the accident rate has dropped from 350 per 1,000 workers in mid 1980–1960 per 1,000 workers in 2007, it still accounted for nearly one-fifth of all the industrial accidents in Hong Kong. Contractors were economically pressed and battered by exorbitant compensation over the years. Increasing from HK$10,997,637 in 2004, the total compensation reached the peak of HK$39,643,353 in 2006. The heaviest compensation was HK$13,800,000 among 101 cases.
