While each state has slightly different workers’ compensation laws,
the general consensus is that any on-the-job injuries and illnesses are
covered by workers’ comp, regardless of fault. Injured workers can
pursue benefits for medical care and lost earnings without having to prove
that someone else was to blame. If a third party (someone other than their
employer or someone they work with) was at fault, however, they could
have a personal injury lawsuit against that person or company. Your attorney
can explain how workers’ comp applies to your warehouse accident
and resulting injuries.
