Why You Can't Sue Your Employer

The Law Works for Employers and Employees

Workers' compensation was created to assure workers that they would get the medical treatment they needed after a work accident, and so that they would receive a percentage of their wages while injuries kept them from working.

But the workers' compensation system benefits employers, too. The employer does not have to face a negligence lawsuit. The employers' expenses are limited to medical treatment, wage losses, disfigurement and some expenses related to permanent disability or death benefits.

If you have questions about workers' compensation and how it affects you, talk to an experienced workers' compensation attorney.
