Count On Our Team to Protect Your Interests
Modesto Workplace Accident
Under California state law, employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to pay medical and wage benefits to their employees injured on the job. In the majority of cases, the injured worker who claims the workers’ comp benefits forfeits any further right to sue their employer for additional compensation. However, if an injured worker can show that the accident was the result of carelessness, negligence or misconduct by another party, he or she may file a ‘third-party’ lawsuit for full and fair compensation.
