If you were injured at work, your employer might be responsible for your injuries. Should it be proven your injuries are job-related, you are entitled to file a workers’ compensation claim and collect benefits. Since you are losing income, your compensation can go to your medical bills, medications, and day-to-day expenses. Remember, once you accept workers’ compensation benefits, you forfeit your right to sue your employer in court for your injuries. However, if your employer fights your claim, you can sue them in court. But, you won’t be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits if the injuries are not related to your duties, even if you were in your workplace.
