Workers' compensation is a benefit that employees are entitled to if they are injured while on the job, regardless of fault. If you are injured on the job and you are not sure whether you are entitled to workers' compensation, consult with your employer to determine the benefits available to you. However, if your injury was caused by your own negligence, you may not be eligible for benefits, depending on the circumstance. It's a good idea to speak with an experienced workers' compensation lawyer to learn more about your rights and options.
