What compensation could I get if I was injured on the job?
What compensation could I get if I was injured on the job? Usually there
are two types of claims you might have if you’ve been injured on
the job. One, which you hear about most, is called worker’s compensation
claim. Employers in the state of Utah and just about anywhere are required
to get workers’ compensation coverage for their employees. So if
an employee is injured on the job, the employee can get basic compensation
from that insurance policy. The second type of claim that a person who
is injured on the job is called a third party personal injury claim. That
is a claim against a third party who is at fault for the injury. The long
and the short of it is, if you are injured on the job, you probably have
a worker’s compensation claim, but you may also have a personal
injury claim against some third party who is a fault for your injury.
