-back to top Not necessarily. Only when the employers negligence is the sole cause of a workers injury is the financial compensation limited to the Workers Compensation amount. Every case where a worker is injured should be carefully evaluated, by an attorney, to determine the cause and financial responsibility to the injured worker. If a party, other than your own employer, is responsible for your accident, a third-party action may be brought to recover for the pain and suffering experienced.
