Can I sue my employer for Personal Injury in addition to getting Workers Compensation benefits?
You should talk with an attorney in the State where you were injured to determine whether you have a Personal Injury case against your employer, but many states do not allow an employee to file a lawsuit against his or her employer if it is an injury covered by Workers’ Compensation. An exception to this rule in some jurisdictions is that an employee may bring a lawsuit if the injury is a result of the employer concealing dangerous conditions in the workplace.
