Typically no. An injured worker is usually limited to filing a workers’ compensation claim with his or her employer for an injury suffered on the job. Workers’ compensation will provide an injured worker with medical treatments and partial wage replacement or disability benefits from time missed from work or income missed out on. In rare cases, an injured worker may be permitted to step outside the workers’ compensation system to file a personal injury claim against an employer if the worker can show that the employer intentionally or recklessly caused the worker’s injury.
