If you've been unfortunate enough to be injured at work, you're probably under the impression that the only way you can receive compensation is through your employer's worker's compensation insurance.
This is true for the most part, but there are a few exceptions where you might be able to sue for damages caused by your injuries.
Worker's compensation can provide money and benefits to you if you're injured at work, but temporary disability and permanent disability payments usually aren't enough.
They fail to compensate for things like pain and suffering, and they don't provide punitive damages to punish an employer for poor safety controls or dangerous conditions.
That's why if you've been injured at work, you need to understand your rights to bring a case outside of the worker's compensation program.
In the article below, we will discuss a few situations where you might be able to sue outside of worker's compensation for your damages.
