Can I bring a lawsuit against my employer for injuries on the job?

Bringing a Lawsuit Against Your Employer

You usually cannot bring a lawsuit against your employer if you are getting workers' compensation benefits. These benefits are considered a solution to the problem of being injured, so there is no way to claim further damages against the employer. However, a workers' compensation lawyer can help you to bring a lawsuit against other parties involved in an on the job accident, or they can help you to sue an employer who does not have the workers' compensation coverage they are required to carry.
