For many clients who are injured at industrial sites, their employers do have Workers’ Compensation. The next question that needs to be answered is whether their injury was caused by some other contractor, a third-party who caused their injuries by which they can also seek a different claim against them for their injuries. That’s part of the investigation that needs to be done by the lawyer to seek full industrial injury workers’ compensation.
Industrial Accident Compensation | Employer Doesn’t Carry Workers’ Compensation
I had a client come in who was injured on the job site, and their employer doesn’t carry Workers’ Compensation.
