Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury

  1. Fault vs. No-Fault: Workers’ comp is a no-fault system—you may receive benefits regardless of who caused the injury.

  2. Types of Recovery: Workers’ comp generally does not cover pain and suffering; personal injury claims can.

  3. Third-Party Claims: In some cases, you may pursue a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ comp if a third party caused your injury.

Don’t let deadlines or employer tactics deny you the benefits you deserve.
