What is the name of your state?Louisiana
I tripped on construction materials draped across a sidewalk at work and hurt the ligament in my foot. My employer is paying all medical bills and I will receive workmans comp after I am out for 7 working days. The amount of the workmans comp is about one third of my salary and I am concerned about finances if my recovery is very long. Can I sue my employer for this accident even though I am scheduled to receive workmans comp next week?
