WORK RELATED INJURIES - ON THE JOB ACCIDENTS
(NOT WORKERS COMPENSATION)

If an individual is injured while doing his or her job and entitled to receive worker's compensation benefits, the individual cannot normally make a successful negligence claim against the employer. This is to encourage employers to carry worker's compensation insurance. However, if it was an intentional act on the part of the employer or a co-worker, then the injured party can make a negligence claim against his employer. If the injured worker dies from the injuries, his estate can sue the employer for intentional acts or gross (extreme) negligence of the employer.
