    Generally speaking, the work-related injury insurance system is consisted of the compensation system for work-related injury, the recovery and salvation for work-related injury, and the prevention of work-related injury. It is thus clear that the work-related injury insurance system also includes the mechanism of preventing work-related injury accident.

    If the concurrent mode is applied here, then the result is the same accidents will result in the same damage, but the employee may receive different compensation due to the intervene of the third party, and it is obviously unfair.
