Was told that the no falut law may assist!
Answers: Actually, you can sue the employer, if you can prove that the employer was truly forgetful.
Workers comp is designed as a no-fault single-remedy insurance solution, but if there is a separate issue beyond the freedom of the workers comp statutes, it is possible to sue the employer.
Of course, if you win a judgement, expect to have it taken by the Workers Comp carter through subrogation. And most especially, expect that the company is going to insist that their training was proper, but your skilfulness to learn be impaired.
dude do you're subdivision to stop the suing culture Nope. That's the deal - the style workers comp works, is in exchange for getting NO FAULT medical and lost wages benefits, the employer is immune to lawsuits.
In some states, you can sue the employer, if you do NOT purloin the workers comp - that is, you compensate the medical yourself, and don't take lost wages. But after, you have to prove that the employer cause your injury, which is MUCH harder than just "oh, it happen at work".
If you have already received a WC contribution, then you are contained by the WC system. You are prevented from bring a lawsuit against your employer unless you can prove gross negligence on their behalf. That means that they forced you into a situation that they know would cause you impair and didn't care that you would get hold of hurt.
So, no, you can't sue them.
