Re: hurt at work

Generally, you should be covered under the workers compensation insurance of your employer or under his liability insurance. Only if none of those are available, should you consider going after Walgreens. More details about what happened would be helpful to my evaluation of your situation.

Re: hurt at work

This type of worker's compensation cases are called a third party case meaning that there is another party in addition to your employer who is responsible for your injuries. You may pursue against both parties however there will not be double recovery. You can get compensation for different things from each party. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation about your case.
