Personal Injury vs. Workers Compensation
Workers injuries do not require you prove negligence for your claim. However, personal injury claims do.
As we talk, we will analyze your claim in the light of Personal Injury Law. It’s possible you may have a separate and larger claim for your injury and pain.
Q: Can I claim for an injury that happened off the clock?
A: Yes, you can claim for an off-duty injury if it is work-related. This includes injuries that occur during work-related activities, company events, or while performing tasks at the request of your employer.
Q: Can I claim for an injury that happened near the workplace?
A: Yes, you can claim for an injury near the workplace if it is connected to your work. This includes injuries on your employer’s property, such as parking lots or break areas, even if you are off duty.
