Injured on the job

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ comp is only part of the picture. When a third party caused your injury, you may be owed much more.

Overview

Comp claim, lawsuit, or both?

If you were hurt on the job, workers’ compensation should cover medical care and a portion of lost wages — but claims get denied, delayed, and underpaid all the time.

And comp is not always the whole story: when someone other than your employer caused your injury (a negligent driver, a defective machine, a subcontractor), you may also have a third-party injury claim that can recover far more, including full pain and suffering.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sue if I’m getting workers’ comp?+

You generally cannot sue your employer, but you can pursue a separate claim against a negligent third party — which can significantly increase your recovery. We look for both.

My comp claim was denied. What now?+

Denials are common and often reversible. We can appeal and pursue the benefits you are owed.

Will I lose my job for filing?+

Retaliation for filing a legitimate claim is illegal in most states. If it happens, that may be a separate claim of its own.

You focus on healing. We'll handle the rest.
