On-the-job accidents can lead to work related injuries. Industrial workers' regular duties may expose them to dangerous substances, for instance, or construction workers can accidentally fall and injure themselves. Worker's compensation helps those who have suffered from work related injuries by providing coverage for lost wages and medical expenses. Although employees accepting worker's compensation forfeit the right to sue their employers, a lawsuit may be brought against a third party in some cases. Additionally, those who have been unjustly denied worker's compensation benefits for work related injuries may have grounds for a lawsuit.
