Since we have a great many
rights and freedoms in this country, you can basically sue anyone for anything.
You can sue your boss if you are hurt on the job, but the greater questions are
should you and how. This blog post from the Law Offices of James P. Hoffman
will discuss suing an employer for injury.
Workers’ compensation
generally protects employers against lawsuits, but there are exceptions. Your
employer not only has to pay you, but they also have to protect you at work. If
the company you work for has failed to meet their duty of care by neglecting to
provide you with the necessary training or proper safety equipment, for
instance, then you may have a solid basis for filing a suit against them.
If you have been injured
on the job through intentional or reckless action by your
employer or your workplace was hazardous because of negligence by your boss or
fellow employees, you can file a suit that bypasses workers’ compensation. For
example, you can claim pain and suffering in your case as well as punitive
damages.
If you have further
questions about suing your employer because of injuries you
sustained on the job, contact the Law Offices of James P. Hoffman.
