In Illinois workers’ compensation law, the value of human body parts is determined by an actuarial analysis of probabilities and future values of injuries. The values are continually adjusted to keep up with inflation and changes in the economy. The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission uses the fixed values of body parts in order to strike a fair balance between compensating workers without driving insurance organizations into financial ruin.

Workers Injured in Gas Explosion Accident
An explosion at a gas supply firm in St Helens resulted in workers suffering burn injuries.
The explosion happened at the premises of North West Gases Ltd in April 2008. A worker – who has chosen to remain anonymous – was removing the valve from an LPG cylinder.
However, the cylinder was not completely empty at the time, and as he was removing the valve some of the gas escaped. This gas ignited and caused a large explosion to take place, strong enough to lift the roof off of the building they were in.
The unnamed worker was thrown across the room in the blast and suffered serious injury. He suffered burns to his face, hands and legs, which required treatment in a specialist burns unit. The Managing Director of the firm also suffered serious burns in the accident. Another worker, who was stood outside the building at the time, suffered minor injuries.
The Managing Director – John Webster – was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive in regards to the accident. He was fined £22,500 at Liverpool Crown Court this week for breaking the Health and Safety at Work Act. A spokesperson for the HSE stated afterwards that Mr Webster had failed to perform even basic safety checks.
