Personal Injury vs. Workers’ Comp.

So… what is the difference between the two?  The single biggest difference is FAULT.  In a personal injury case someone else is at fault for the injury that has occurred to you or a loved one.  In the case of a Workers’ Compensation claim no one in particular needs to be blamed.  An accident happened and YOU need to be compensated.

Virtually, any employee injured on the job is entitled to Workers’ Compensation.  No one needs to spend time, expense, and effort to prove that someone else was negligent or that the workplace was an unsafe working environment.  You could have been totally to blame, but that does not negate your opportunity to be compensated according to the law.

That is where great legal advice comes into play.  You need to pursue your claim to the fullest extent.  You need to do it through the proper attorney.  Attorney Alden B.
