Know Your Workers’ Compensation Rights

You need to know your Workers’ Compensation rights. The Workers’ Compensation law resulted from a compromise which was struck over 100 years ago, between employers and employees, during the industrial revolution. The concern was that the overall relationship between employers and their employees would suffer if employees were constantly filing lawsuits for personal injuries which they sustained on the job, and that this would in turn, harm business as a whole. Consequently, they made certain trade-offs. And Workers’ Compensation became the “exclusive remedy” available to injured workers, except under special circumstances.

Workers’ Compensation Typically Does Not Provide Full Damages

Workers’ Comp typically does not provide for damages that people are entitled to when they are injured while not in the “course and scope” of their employment and they sustain a personal injury as the result of another person’s negligence (called a “tort”). Tort damages include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, unlimited future lost wages, etc. You generally do not receive those damages with Workers’ Comp. However, you don’t need to prove negligence on the part of your employer as you do with a tort claim. Likewise, your negligence is not at issue. It doesn’t matter that you may have been at fault for your accident and resulting injuries. Workers’ comp is a “no fault” system. That’s the trade-off.

Workers’ Compensation Can Apply In Various Circumstances

Workers’ compensation injuries do not just include accidents that happen at your employers place of business or on the jobsite. Injured workers are also entitled to workers’ comp benefits in other situations, such as when they are in an accident driving a company vehicle, when they are in an accident in their own vehicle when the employer is providing mileage reimbursement, and when traveling somewhere at the request of the employer (running an errand, going to pick up supplies, etc.). The specific facts are needed to determine if workers’ compensation benefits are owed. You may even be entitled to tort damages, as well as workers’ comp benefits, when you are injured due to the negligence of an employee working for another subcontractor, for example. That’s why you need an experienced Workers’ Comp lawyer.
