Frequently asked questions
Orientation only—not legal advice
Is every workplace accident automatically work injury?
No. Recognition depends on statutory criteria and facts (time, place, cause). Process matters.
Can the employee also sue civilly?
Sometimes, depending on third-party fault and other factors. Coordinate pathways carefully.
What if the employer is uninsured?
Statutory schemes still create duties and exposure—facts and local practice matter; get counsel.
When do we need a lawyer?
Denied recognition, serious disability, or termination during treatment. Use the workers compensation directory.
