North Dakota Workers Compensation...

In 1919, the North Dakota Legislative Assembly created the Workmen's Compensation Bureau. Its purpose was to provide "sure and certain relief regardless of questions of fault to the exclusion of every other remedy, proceeding, or compensation." The intent of the law was to provide relief to workers injured while on the job. This relief would be in the form of compensation for lost earnings and payment of medical bills incurred. It was anticipated that the law would help employers by eliminating the risk of damaging lawsuits by injured employees. The following is taken from a 1997-1998 report issued by the State:

"While the North Dakota Workers Compensation Bureau has achieved tremendous improvements, it also recognizes the need to ensure that every aspect of its operation meets or exceeds private industry standards. Recognizing that no competition exists in the North Dakota workers' compensation market that would force NDWC to "operate efficiently or cease to exist, NDWC and its Board believe they have a special obligation to maintain the highest standards of performance and efficiency."

A 1999 - 2001 report showed there were 20,045 claims filed during the year 2000 and 20,320 during the year 2001. The Balance Sheet reports showed a total fund surplus of $376,242,034 million for year 2000 and a total fund surplus of $378,632,017 for year 2001.
