Can I take legal action after accepting workers’ compensation?

If you’ve suffered from a workplace injury, you may have been successfully awarded workers’ compensation to cover your loss of income and disability. Workers’ compensation is designed to be a no-fault system, meaning accepting it does not indicate any fault or negligence of your employer. Receiving workers’ compensation may not preclude you from pursuing a claim against others involved in your workplace accident, such as a manufacturer of defective machinery.
