IMPORTANT: With some accidents at work, the injured person may have grounds for a personal injury claim in addition to a workers’ compensation claim. For example, if negligence on the part of someone who doesn’t work at the company caused the injury, a third-party personal injury claim may be appropriate. A personal injury claim may also lead to significantly more compensation than the benefits provided through workers’ comp. At The Law Office of Jonathan W.
