Workman's comp is a joke now. Once it was allowed to go private and the same insurance companies that have destroyed healthcare run it.
Worker's comp used to be a company would basically just reimburse the government and it could be a tax write off. The company was only responsible for their injured employees. And while companies could fight, it was fair for both sides.
Today, at least in Ohio, the insurance companies took it over and charge up the ass and benefits are not even close to what they were. Companies pay premiums and not based on the injuries only accrued by their workers. It's a horrid, costly ripoff scheme from the insurance companies.
So it truly has nothing to do with wages..... at least in Ohio.
