Workers’ Compensation Or Personal Injury?
Depending on the circumstances of an injury, these two fields of civil law may overlap. While there are some benefits to filing for workers’ compensation, doing so limits the type of damages that may be sought following a traumatic incident. In particular, workers’ compensation does not generally permit emotional or psychological damages to be pursued by claimants. On the other hand, personal injury law gives claimants the freedom to press these damages if significant emotional damage occurred. However, a work-related personal injury lawsuit can only be filed under certain circumstances.
