Re: Vicarious Liability
THe employers workers compensation should cover you for meds. and any injury. You may need to file a claim petition. If that is necessary, retain an attorney. It can get complicated. My Workers Comp. Department can assist you if you need an attorney
Re: Vicarious Liability
You are entitled to worker's comp benefits if you are injured at work, even if it's 100% your fault. Those benefits are medical bills & lost wages. Your employer is legally obligated to either have worker's comp insurance, or be a "qualified" self insured employer. If worker's comp benefits are not being paid to you, you should consult with an attorney experienced in worker's comp cases. My office handles these cases-feel free to contact me for a free consultation. Good luck!!
