Re: job site injury
If you can sue outside of worker's comp, then you can recover damages. You will have to repay worker's comp however.
Let me know if you need any help.
Re: job site injury
Since you receive comp benefits, the insurance paying you will have first claim to any money paid by the negligent party who caused the accident. Most lawyers, and we are a firm which handles such claims, would not accept a claim against the negligant party in this case...as there would not be enough money recovered.
