Injured at Work?

In order that workers are quickly able to replace income lost (as a result of employment injuries and illnesses) and receive payment for medical expenses, they are not required to prove that their injuries were caused by an employer's negligence. For their part, employers are spared having to pay awards for pain and sufferings or punitive damages. In addition, under state law, employees generally cannot sue employers for damages from workplace injuries. Each side makes concessions that ensure that fairness of the system. If this spirit of fairness is breached, a lawyer should be consulted.
