True

Explanation:

A workers' or employee's compensation claim can be successful even if the employee does not have any proof of employer's fault, negligence, or wrongdoing leading to the injury. This is based on the notion that providing a safe and secure environment to employee is considered one of the most basic legal requirements and the employer must ensure this. If, in any way, they fail to ensure the worker's safety, then they are considered liable to pay compensation. Hence, this statement is true.
