The Commonwealth of Virginia began requiring and regulating workers’ compensation insurance in 1918. Since then, the Commonwealth has bit-by-bit developed a more comprehensive regulatory system in light of rises in work injuries, workers’ medical bills, and law suits against employers as well as changes in industry and technology.

Wellington Wimpy’s good-old catchphrase, “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today,” has become an expression of financial irresponsibility, paying later for goods and services consumed now is commonplace.
