Protecting Your Rights in the Workplace
If you’ve been hurt at work, the best thing to do is act fast to protect your interests. That means notifying your employer of the injury, getting medical attention, and consulting a skilled workplace accident lawyer.
Contact our firm to learn more about the best ways to protect your legal rights following an injury at work. We can advise you about the workers’ compensation process and the possibility of suing someone unrelated to your employer for personal injury damages. Most of all, we can help you access the medical treatment you need for the most complete recovery possible from your injuries.
Don’t Miss Out on a Potential Source of Compensation
Although workers’ compensation is meant to serve as the primary source of income protection and medical coverage in workplace injury cases, there are many situations where the negligence of a third party means that you can file for workers’ comp and pursue a personal injury lawsuit simultaneously.
Pursuing personal injury damages or premises liability cases is generally a good idea if you have the legal right to do so. The value of your personal injury case may be much higher than your workers’ compensation benefits.
