Potentially yes. While the workers’ compensation system does not permit an injured worker to file a personal injury lawsuit against his or her employer, even if the employer was at fault for the worker’s injuries, an injured warehouse or factory worker may still file a personal injury or other legal claims against a third party responsible for his or her injury -- for example, if a piece of defective equipment or machinery causes the worker’s injury, he or she may be entitled to bring a product liability claim against the manufacturer.
