A personal injury claim is a claim for injuries that you sustained due to the negligent or reckless conduct of another party. When you file a personal injury claim, you can seek to recover compensation for your medical bills, loss of wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and any other out of pocket expenses associated with your injury.
A workers’ compensation claim is a claim for injuries that you sustained while at work or during the course of employment. In order to qualify for benefits, you do not need to prove who was at fault in causing your injuries. When you file a workers’ compensation claim, your benefits will be limited to medical expenses, disability payments and retraining benefits.
If you suffered a job-related injury that was caused by the negligence of a party that was not directly related with your employer, your Los Angeles accident attorney may determine that you are entitled to file both a personal injury claim and a workers’ compensation claim.
