Workers' Compensation vs. Personal Injury Claims

It's important to understand the difference between workers' compensation claims and personal injury claims:

  • Workers' Compensation Claims: These no-fault claims provide benefits for workplace injuries, including medical care and lost wages. There's no need to prove liability.
  • Personal Injury Claims: These claims involve injuries caused by third-party negligence (e.g., a car accident at work). Compensation may include pain and suffering, but you must prove fault.

In certain cases, both types of claims may apply. Our attorneys will evaluate your situation and pursue the best path for maximum recovery.
