If you were injured at work then you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Depending upon the circumstances of the injury, you may be eligible to receive compensation through either the workers’ compensation system, or a personal injury lawsuit, or both.
Your employer is responsible for taking all reasonable measures to secure your safety on the job.
