Have you been injured as a result of an on-the-job injury where you were injured or assaulted by a co-employee, your boss, or an outside vendor? Many times people who have been injured as a result of serious injuries or assaults at work are told by attorneys that your only avenue for compensation is the Michigan Workers Compensation Act because your injury “arose out of and in the course of your employmentâ€.
We successfully have sued and provided compensation to a woman who was sexually assaulted by a co-worker on-the-job. When the employer was sued they argued that the Michigan Workers Compensation Act exclusive remedy provision precludes suits against the employer that “arise out of and in the course of employmentâ€.
We have successfully argued and presented case law to the Courts showing that even though an injury may have occurred at work, it did not “arise out of and in the course of employmentâ€.
