Just because an injury occurred on the job, doesn’t mean that you are limited to collecting worker’s compensation benefits. Unfortunately, most workers cannot sue their employer for negligence if they were on the job. There are, however, exceptions. If a third party is responsible for your injury, you may be eligible to sue if you can prove that someone else was at fault for the accident. For instance, a store owner whose slippery floor causes a customer to fall is responsible for that person’s injury, if the store owner knew or should have known about the slippery floor. If the customer happened to be at the store making a delivery for his own employer, the customer may have a personal injury against the store owner and also a worker’s compensation claim against his owner employer. It is always important that an investigation is performed after an on the job injury to ascertain whether is also a third part claim.
