Did you think that the workers compensation insurance system was started in the United States? Or did you think it was started in the early twentieth century? You would be wrong on both accounts.
The earliest record of workers compensation insurance dates back to the Samaria civilization in the year 2050 BC; which was also about the time of the earliest evidence of the written word! In fact, the United States was one of last countries to embrace a legal framework for workers compensation insurance beginning in the 1910’s.
