For those injured on the job, understanding the specifics of workers' compensation can be a formidable task. Often, the resolution of a claim marks the end of one chapter, but for some, it's the beginning of a new struggle. If you're wondering whether a closed workers' compensation case can be revisited, you're not alone.

The moments following a car accident are often a chaotic blend of emotions, adrenaline, and confusion. In such moments, it’s easy to think you're fine if the initial shock hasn’t revealed any injuries.

Being injured on the job can be challenging and it can lead to confusion for workers trying to understand their rights and eligibility for receiving compensation.

Automobile accidents are fairly common occurrences in the United States. Many are simply fender-benders, and outside of some damaged metal, no one is seriously injured. Most drivers are respectful of the law, and if they strike another vehicle, they will cooperate and exchange insurance information and take responsibility.

Unfortunately, car crashes happen far more frequently that anyone would like, and every day accident victims are forced to begin the long and often complicated process of addressing their injuries and seeking compensation for their expenses.

You set out on a sunny morning to go shopping or have lunch with friends, and all of a sudden, another car plows into you. Your car is damaged, and you’re jostled about and suffer injuries. It’s not your fault, but you still must deal with the property damage and your own injuries.

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance system for employees who are injured or fall ill due to toxic exposure or other causes at work. No-fault means that the injured or ill employee cannot sue their employer but must seek compensation for their medical expenses and lost wages (if unable to work for a period of time) from the employer and/or their workers’ compensation insurance company. In turn, the employer cannot sue an employee for a workplace injury or illness.

If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party.
