If you were hurt while doing your job, you may be wondering whether your situation calls for a workers' comp claim, a personal injury lawsuit, or possibly both. The answer comes down to who was responsible for the injury and where it happened.
Workers' compensation generally applies to injuries that occur on the job, regardless of fault. Personal injury cases come into play when a third party outside your employer caused the harm. Think of a delivery driver hit by another motorist, or a construction worker injured by faulty equipment from an outside vendor. In some situations, both types of claims can move forward at the same time.
In this video, our attorneys break down the key differences, what evidence matters for each, and how to figure out which path fits your case.
