Workers Compensation establishes the liability of an employer for injuries or sicknesses which arise out of and in the course of employment. The liability is created without regard to the fault or negligence of the employer. Benefits generally include hospital and other medical payments and compensation for loss of income; if the injury is covered by the statute, compensation under the statute will be the employees only remedy against her or her employer. The workers compensation systems in place in each state are exclusive, no-fault remedies for most workplace injuries, and workers compensation attorneys guide injured workers through the process, to ensure that they receive appropriate income replacement payments and other monetary awards.
Mannford is a town in Creek, Pawnee, and Tulsa counties in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The population was 2,095 at the 2000 census. A bedroom community of Tulsa sitting on Lake Keystone, this town is known as the Striped Bass Capital of the World. The town nearly became extinct in the early 1960s when the entire town had to move due to the creation of Lake Keystone. Mannford is also known for its bigfoot sightings. Many hunters have been quoted as seeing the apelike creature roaming the landscape.
