Philadelphia, PA personal injury attorney Leon Aussprung M.D., ESQ. talks about what happens if you get injured in the workplace. He states that when an individual is injured in the workplace, workers’ compensation typically applies as a no-fault system, meaning there is no need to prove that anyone acted negligently. However, additional sources of recovery may be available through third-party litigation. For example, the equipment involved in the injury may have been maintained by an external vendor, another company could be responsible for cleaning or sweeping the work area, or a separate entity might have inspected the workspace. It is important to involve an attorney even in a workers’ compensation claim to identify all potential sources of liability and ensure that the injured party can maximize their recovery.
