Encinitas, CA personal injury attorney Jeffrey Padilla talks about what happens if you get injured in the workplace. If an individual is injured in the workplace, it is widely known that workers’ compensation is typically available. However, many people are unaware that there could also be liability against a third party, such as a subcontractor who is not the employer. Various factors may have contributed to or significantly caused the injury beyond simply being on the job and having workers’ compensation coverage. Therefore, it is essential for individuals to consult with an attorney who can explore the possibility of additional recovery, which may offer much larger financial compensation than just the workers’ compensation benefits.
