Claims and Personal Injury Claims?

Every day, there are hundreds of injured working
individuals all over California. According to the
statistics, almost 50 percent of them receive
compensation and benefits for the injuries they
sustained. The other half does not. The reasons
could be either a
Denied claim or
Doing nothing

The Main Difference
The first thing you should consider is the
following is anyone responsible for your injury?
Did someones negligence cause you to receive an
injury? If the answer is yes, then you are
dealing with a personal injury and should file a
personal injury claim. However, if you sustained
an injury by accidentally slipping and falling or
by operating a machine, you cannot really
pinpoint a person and say that they are
responsible for your injury. In this case, you
are eligible to file for workers compensation.
