Understanding Your Rights After a Workplace Injury

Many workers know that workers’ compensation provides benefits after a job-related injury. But far fewer people realize they might also be eligible to pursue a personal injury claim — which can offer broader compensation — depending on how the injury happened.

Our team takes the time to explain your options and determine the most effective path forward. We’ll look closely at your case to find out whether a third party (someone other than your employer) may be liable. If so, we’ll work aggressively to hold them accountable.

As your dedicated workplace injury lawyer in Lexington, KY, we’re not here to push quick settlements. We’re trial-ready and prepared to take your case as far as it needs to go.

Workers' Compensation vs. Personal Injury: What’s the Difference?

After a job injury, you may be eligible to file for workers’ compensation, which can provide:

  • Coverage for medical bills

  • A portion of your lost wages

  • Compensation for permanent injuries

  • Vocational rehabilitation benefits (in some cases)

 

Workers’ comp is a no-fault system, meaning you’re entitled to benefits regardless of who caused the accident. But there’s a catch—workers’ comp doesn’t provide compensation for pain and suffering, and wage benefits are often limited.

That’s why it’s so important to evaluate whether you may also have a third-party personal injury claim. These claims apply when someone outside your employer — like a subcontractor, negligent driver, or manufacturer of faulty equipment — caused or contributed to your injury.

In a third-party claim, you may be able to pursue:

  • Full lost wages (past and future)

  • Pain and suffering damages

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

  • Compensation for diminished earning capacity

  • Medical expenses not covered by workers’ comp

 

We handle both workers’ comp and third-party injury cases. And we’ll help you pursue every dollar you’re entitled to—through every available legal channel.
