Platte City Work Accidents Attorney | Workman's Comp Lawyer | Work Injury Benefits
Injuries sustained at work or work-related are almost always covered under workers' compensation. Workers' compensation is no-fault, which means it generally does not matter who caused the injury. There are exceptions to this as explained below in third-party liability claims. However, if an injury is covered by workers' comp, then the employee is limited to workers' compensation benefits.
