Sacramento Construction Injuries - Injured Worker Claims
Working on a job site can be very dangerous. California law also prohibits an injured worker from suing his or her employer for personal injury damages except under highly unusual circumstances. Although the workers' compensation system is intended to serve as the exclusive remedy for injuries on the job as between an employee and the employer,
California law says that if you are injured by a "Third Party" you may have rights in addition to "Workers Compensation" benefit. If you have been injured on the job and need information about your legal rights against "Third Parties" and strategic options for recovering money damages,
