Workplace Accidents
Seeking Justice for Workers Injured on the JobWhen employees are hurt in workplace accidents, often they don't know how to protect their rights. Too often workers' compensation benefits do not begin to compensate an employee for the losses caused by a work injury. While a worker generally cannot sue their employer for on-the-job accidents, they may be able to obtain additional compensation in a lawsuit against another person or company whose negligence or fault contributed to the accident. These lawsuits are called third-party lawsuits. If someone other than their employer was responsible for their work injury, an injured worker may be able to recover money for pain, suffering, disability and other damages not covered by workers' compensation benefits.
