Legal Answers
- Q. Hello, Is there a deadline for submitting mileage paperwork for California Workers Comp case?
- A: There is no deadline as long as your case is open. Also, it is easier to get reimbursed for mileage the closer it is submitted to the actual appointment.
- Q. Can you sue your employer in addition to workers comp due to gross negligence?
- A: If you are injured at work, you are subject to the Exclusive Remedy Rule — a component of workers compensation statutes that bars employees injured on the job from making a tort liability claim against their employers. The benefits provided under workers compensation are the sole remedy available to injured employees. When a worker is injured on the job, he or she can bring a workers' compensation claim. ... However, in some cases, the injured worker can also bring a third-party liability claim. “Third-party liability” refers to bodily injury caused to a person because of a negligent or reckless third party's actions or omissions. You may be able to sue the dog owner or other party if their negligence caused your injury. Good luck.
