Answer: Worker’s comp often does not provide enough assistance for you and your family to manage after a serious workplace accident. There are often other parties, besides your employer, who contributed to your accident, such as the landowner, property manager, or sub-contractor. While receiving workers comp bars you from suing your employer, these other entities may be sued for their negligence to recover damages for your person injuries, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and loss of consortium.

Answer: Alleged victims do not control whether cases are prosecuted or dismissed. While the prosecutor is likely to consider the wishes of an alleged victim, it is the government and not an alleged victim who controls the case. Cases may be proven without the assistance of an alleged victim, such as through the use of a 9-1-1 call, medical records, or admissions given to the police at the scene or at the station. You should retain experienced counsel to defend your interests even if the alleged victim wants to “drop the charges.”
