WORKPLACE INJURIES In Louisville, KY

If you, or a family member, is injured while within the course and scope of your employment, in other words, while “on the job”, most workers reconcile themselves to receiving what limited workers’ compensation benefits are available under state law.  Yes, the medical treatment should be covered, and, yes, limited temporary total disability wage benefits should also be paid.  If a permanent injury results from the workplace accident, then limited partial or total disability benefits under the workers’ compensation law should also be paid.   But what if your injury is caused by the fault of another person or company that is not your co-worker or employer?   Can you recover full benefits, including money damages for your physical pain and mental suffering?
