Re: possible award

Absolutely, if you hurt on the job, then you must file a Worker's Compensation claim. However, if there is a third party to sue (such as the landowner), then you may be entitled to pursue a legal action. We can certainly advise you on this as we have handled many fall cases in our 17 years of practice. Call me to discuss. The consultation is free.
