WHAT IF MY WORK INJURY WAS NOT CAUSED BY MY EMPLOYER BUT WAS CAUSED BY ANOTHER PARTY? WILL THIS IMPACT THE WORKERS' COMP BENEFITS I RECIEVE?

A:

If you are injured in the course of employment, you are entitled to workers’ compensation, regardless of the cause.

You may be able to sue a third party that caused the injury, such as the manufacturer, distributor or seller of faulty equipment that caused the injury.  If you receive benefits from a third party, your employer or its insurer may be eligible for workers’ compensation reimbursement or they may be able to join the suit.
