Understanding Your Possible Sources of Compensation
Workers' compensation exists to make sure employees who are injured on the job get medical treatment and partial replacement of their lost wages, regardless of who was at fault. Personal injury laws allow a person who has been injured by someone who is not their employer or a fellow employee to pursue full compensation.
If you've been injured under certain circumstances, you may have both a valid workers' comp claim and a valid personal injury claim, which could allow you to get a better overall compensation package.
Perhaps you were injured in a car accident while driving a delivery truck or traveling to a meeting with a client. Or maybe you were injured on a construction site due to the negligence of a contractor or subcontractor other than your employer. Maybe you slipped and fell while on a work errand.
Each case is different, and no outcome is ever guaranteed. However, you deserve the opportunity to pursue all forms of compensation to which you may be legally entitled.
