Workers’ compensation
If you are seeking workers’ compensation benefits, you will have to prove that your injury is work related. If you were doing something that benefits your employer while you were injured, you may have a claim. Although this seems like a simple rule, you may find yourself in a grey area. If there are doubts on whether your injury is work related or not, you may want to consider consulting with an employment attorney.
