Personal Injury Lawsuits for Work-Related Injuries
Are You Entitled to More than Workers' Compensation?
Sometimes no one is to blame for a workplace injury. The workers' compensation system provides benefits for these workers, covering the costs of medical treatment and providing money to cover lost wages and other ancillary expenses. In other cases, however, negligence or a disregard for safety procedures by someone other than the employer can result in serious injuries. It may be possible to recover compensation from these responsible third parties. Laureti and Associates can help; we work diligently to expose fault and pursue compensation in cases of third party liability.

"I'm Covered by Workers' Comp. Why Do I Need to Sue Anyone?"
Workers' compensation is an important safety net, but it does have limitations. Your employer-paid benefits include:
- Two-thirds of lost wages, up to a maximum
- Medical care, with strings attached as to which doctors you see
- Lump sum or ongoing disability payments, which are capped
In a personal injury lawsuit, there are fewer limits and the possibility of additional damage awards, which may include:
- Full replacement of lost wages and projected earnings
- Medical bills and future medical care
- Damages for pain and suffering
- Punitive damage awards in cases of gross negligence or willful indifference to safety
Laureti and Associates also asserts third party liability in wrongful death actions.
