12/12/07, CTK INVESTIGATIONS:

C HARRIS, the first question would be what state are you in?
In the state of Florida a qualified employer would be
responsible for paying you indemnity benefits at 66 2/3% of
your salary for up to two years, that is if the workers'
compensation doctor takes you out of work. As far as the
personal injury or "third party case" is concerned, you have
the right to pursue a claim against the tort feasor as well as
your workers' compensation carrier. Again, this information is
for Florida.
