TYPES OF INJURY AND DISABILITY CLAIMS

There are several types of injury and disability claims, they are categorized by the legal system which deals with each type of injury. A personal injury claim comes about when someone negligently hurts someone else, such as an auto accident. Workers' compensation is for job injuries and occupational diseases. The Social Security Administration provides both disability benefits to workers through SSD; and SSI benefits to poor disabled, the elderly, and disabled children. Construction site injuries occur every day. Most construction site injuries occur on the job and involve L&I claims. Many are caused by someone, not your employer or co-employee, given rise to a third party claim.
