If You Are Injured at Work You May Have a Personal Injury Claim as well as a Workers Compensation Claim

Many people do not know that if you are injured at work you may have a personal injury claim as well as a workers compensation claim.  It is important to work with the experienced workplace injury attorneys at Hargadon, Lenihan & Herrington (HLH) who can assist with both types of cases.

For example, if a delivery driver were hit by another vehicle, which failed to yield to the right of way, the driver of the other vehicle would be responsible for any injuries suffered by the delivery driver as a result of the accident.  As part of the “third party” injury claim, HLH attorneys would aggressively work to ensure the delivery driver was fully and fairly compensated for all resulting medical bills, lost wages, future medical expenses as well as just compensation for being forced to endure the injuries and subsequent recovery.

In addition, the delivery driver in our story would have a valid workers compensation claim with the State of Kentucky.  Workers compensation claims are often turned down in Kentucky if they are not fully documented or are incorrectly formatted.  Working with HLH attorneys removes all of the worry and concern of injury claims and insurance so our clients can focus on recovering from what has happened and moving forward with their lives. Also, when an injured employee has a workers compensation claim and a personal injury claim, there are several legal pitfalls that must be navigated to maximize the recovery for the worker.

If you are injured at work you may have a personal injury claim as well as a workers compensation claim in Kentucky.  We invite you to review the recommendations of HLH clients and the legal industry and contact Louisville’s most established plaintiffs personal injury firm and workers compensation lawyers or call (866) 583-9701 for a free consultation.  Learn how our experienced lawyers can make your workers compensation and third party injury claim process easier and more while maximizing the value of each claim and achieving the best possible outcome in your cases.
