INJURY TYPES

Workplace Accidents

Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury Claims

Workers’ Compensation:

  • Covers medical expenses & lost wages—but limits your payout

  • Doesn’t allow for pain & suffering compensation

  • Usually doesn’t require proving fault

 

Personal Injury Lawsuits:

  • Can recover much higher compensation (including pain & suffering)

  • Can be filed if a third party (not your employer) was negligent

  • Allows you to fight for your full financial and emotional damages

​

If your injury was caused by defective equipment, a negligent contractor, or unsafe working conditions, you may qualify for BOTH workers’ comp AND a personal injury lawsuit.

Legal Options for Families

If a workplace accident leads to death, families may be able to file:

​

  1. Wrongful Death Claims – Covers funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.

  2. Survivorship Actions – Compensation for medical costs, pain, and suffering before death.

 

Every state has a time limit for filing claims—don’t wait too long to take legal action.

How the Legal Process Works

  1. Free Consultation – Your attorney reviews your case (no obligation).

  2. Investigation Begins – They gather evidence, medical records, and expert opinions.

  3. Claim Filed – A demand is sent to the at-fault party’s insurance company.

  4. Negotiation – Your lawyer fights for a fair settlement.

  5. Trial (If Needed) – If the insurer won’t pay, your lawyer takes them to court.

 

Most cases settle out of court, but if needed, an experienced attorney will be ready to win at trial.
