Does a personal injury claim affect my workers compensation benefits?

While a personal injury claim does not necessarily affect an individuals’ worker’s compensation benefits, you must be very careful because a worker’s compensation insurance company who has made payment to an injured individual for things like disability benefits, medical care, and impairment will have a right to be reimbursed from the personal injury settlement. So, it is very important that an individual secure representation or the personal injury settlement can be put at risk. A firm like Blachly, Tabor Bozik & Hartman understands the interrelationship between personal injury claims and worker’s compensation claims and can provide the best possible advice to an individual faced with the need for reimbursement through a worker’s compensation carrier.
