While a worker’s compensation claim is handled differently than a personal injury claim, for a variety of reasons, it can still be extremely helpful to work with a personal injury attorney throughout the claim process. You will not be seeking legal action against your employer, since the worker’s comp policy blocks these types of actions, but there may be alternative paths forward depending on who was at fault and more. Workers’ compensation does not account for non-economic injuries, but if someone is responsible for your injuries and is not protected by the “no-fault” clause in the compensation policy then you may be able to seek these damages from them.
