Workers' Compensation vs. Personal Injury:
Understanding the Difference
While both workers' compensation and personal injury claims can provide compensation for injuries, they differ in key ways:
Fault: Workers' compensation is a no-fault system, meaning you can receive benefits regardless of who caused the accident. Personal injury claims typically require proving the other party was at fault.
Compensation Types: Workers' comp generally doesn't cover pain and suffering, while personal injury claims do.
Lawsuit Rights: Workers' comp usually prevents you from suing your employer, but you may still have a personal injury claim against third parties involved in your workplace accident.
Our experienced attorneys can help you navigate these complexities and determine the best course of action for your situation.
