Re: injury
You can have both a compensation claim and a third party claim.
See an attorney.
Re: injury
It should be both. WC from your employer and liability against the Hotel. If there is a reoovery against the hotel, the compensation carrier will have the right to get back some of the money spent on the WC case, but never all of it. See a lawyer who handles both workers' comp and liability cases.
