This question is about workers compensation.
What should I know before accepting workers compensation? If you remember our brief history of workers comp from earlier, you may have noted that it was proposed as an alternative to suing employers for workplace injuries.
This is an important fact to remember, as it still holds true today. By this, we mean that you are forfeiting your right to sue your employer over your workplace injury by receiving workers' comp.
Before you accept workers' compensation benefits, be very sure that you don't want to take legal action against your employer. There are some significant downsides to taking legal action, some that were discussed earlier, but if your employer is criminally responsible for something, it may be the right choice.
In most scenarios, your best option is to take the workers' compensation. If you'd like, you could get advice from an injury lawyer.
This is a good option if you have been gravely injured, if the injury threatens your life, or if you will become permanently disabled as a result of the injury.
