Suppose you suffer from a spinal cord injury while at work; your employer will be responsible for providing benefits. These include lost wages and medical bills incurred as a result of an injury on their end.
The use of workers’ compensation does not allow spinal cord injury lawsuits directly against employers. But it does allow claimants who have sustained personal harm due to another person’s wrongdoing since both parties share responsibility under the law. Meaning any individual could potentially stand trial over his condition should he require assistance coping after.
