One Accident, Multiple Claims

Do You Have a Personal Injury Case in Addition to a Workers' Comp Claim?

In exchange for workers' compensation, injured workers generally do not have the right to sue their employers. However, there are times when an injured worker can obtain additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit in addition to a workers' compensation claim.

If you have been injured at work, the lawyers at Seaman Garson LLC in Cleveland, Ohio, offer a free consultation to evaluate your case and determine if you have additional claims. We represent injured workers throughout Ohio.

When Can I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit for a Workplace Accident?

Workers' compensation laws protect employers against lawsuits from injured employees except in cases of intentional torts. However, those laws don’t protect parties other than your employer. There are many cases where a worker injury is cause by a third party (someone other than you or your employer):

Auto accidents occurring on the job
Injuries caused by trucks and delivery vehicles on the job
Injuries caused by other contractors or vendors at job sites
Product liability claims against manufacturers of equipment or chemicals used on the job

If you are injured in an auto accident or by anyone who doesn't work for your employer, you can seek additional compensation − such as money for pain and suffering − by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party.

When Can I Sue My Employer?

For example, if your employer removes a safety guard from a machine or deliberately withholds information about a workplace hazard and you are injured as a result, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against your employer.

You can also receive additional workers' compensation benefits if your employer violates a specific workplace safety requirement (VSSR) established by law or by the Bureau of Workers' Compensation.

This is to say that I have known Mr. Garson for twenty-five years or more. Mr. Garson did a great job for me. I recommended one of my friends to him and they were very satisfied with him as well. He gave me a nice donation for my church. He is the greatest for legal services.

I want to thank you and your associates, especially Grace, for the fine job that was done this pass Friday. I'll admit I was a little worried but after Grace spoke to the Judge my back ALMOST felt a wee bit better right then and there. You've proved to me again that you are looking out for me. Thank you.
