Can you have a person injury suit and be on workmens comp?
Generally, the answer is no, if you are looking to sue your employer, and yes, if you are looking to sue an outside party. The exclusive remedy doctrine (which is one of the core principles of the workers' compensation system) states that, with a very few exceptions the workers' compensation system is the exclusive remedy injured employees have to receive compensation for their injuries, and they may not both receive workers' compensation benefits and sue their employer. Exceptions may exist where the employer is found to have shown gross negligence that contributed to the injury. If a party other than your employer is at fault for the injury, the injured employee would still be able to sue the responsible party while receiving benefits from your employer's workers' comp carrier. For example, if a pizza delivery driver is in a motor vehicle accident for which the other driver is at fault, he could still recover benefits from the responsible driver and/ or her auto insurance carrier, in what is known as a 3rd party suit. The workers' compensation carrier would expect to receive a share of any settlement, however, based on the medical and income benefits that they have paid on the injured workers' behalf.
