Beyond Workers' Compensation
If you have suffered a work injury, you are entitled to receive limited benefits through workers’ compensation. However, if you have been injured in an accident involving falling debris, there is a good chance you may be eligible for additional compensation through a separate personal injury claim.
You cannot file a personal injury claim against your employer or a co-worker. However, if a third party, such as a separate contractor or development company, was responsible for the conditions that led to your accident, you may be able to file a claim. And while workers’ compensation benefits are capped, there is no limit to the amount you can receive in a personal injury claim.
