Worker’s compensation will not affect your ability to pursue a personal injury case.
If you are injured in an accident while working, you may or may not have access to worker’s compensation. This depends on the nature of the accident, the nature of your employment there, and your relationship to the person that brought you to the work site. If you are a standard employee with an employment contract who has been working for your employer for a certain number of days, you will likely have the right to file a worker’s compensation claim.
