Fall 2014, Q6 - Requires knowledge of difference between products liability and WC

Specifically, the question starts out:

Quote:

A chemical used in manufacturing office desks has been found to cause a life-threatening disease. a. For each of the following, describe whether an injured office worker would benefit more from the claim being filed under a workers' compensation policy instead of under a products liability policy: The length of time between claim reporting and payment The likelihood of payment The amount of payment

So my question, why are we expected to know the difference between products liability and WC? Is this in the syllabus somewhere? Or is this because Online Course 2 is a prereq?
