I like my employers and really don't want to involve them in a lawsuit.
The Firm rarely recommends suing the employer in a third party civil case, however, it is often a good idea to file a claim for workers' compensation. Employers are required by law to have workers' compensation insurance.
In many cases the employer is not really at fault, but is required to insure against workplace injuries. Usually the employer is entitled to get any benefits paid to an employee reimbursed by the defendants in the third party case, and is therefore very cooperative with us.
In rare circumstances you are permitted to file a third party lawsuit against your employer. We would discuss this matter with you before suing, and the choice of what to do would remain yours.
