Psychological Injury and Workers' Compensation with Louise Esola

Dive into Episode #145 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Louise Esola, a workers' compensation-focused journalist with Business Insurance, a role she has held for nearly 20 years. Psychological injuries are often more challenging to quantify than physical injuries, and the compensation awarded can depend on factors such as the severity of the condition, its impact on the employee's ability to perform their job, and the evidence provided to support the claim. Workers' compensation is handled differently in every state in the United States and even within the same state when it comes to psychological injuries. Ms. Esola will share her perspective on this important topic, which she has gained from the many worker's compensation stories and cases that she has covered over the years.
