Commentary
Except for a very few instances, accidents like this are handled through an employer’s workers’ comp policy. Regardless of how the accident is handled, however, the accident happened on the job, which would make the victim eligible for those benefits. Even if what caused the accident wasn’t necessarily caused by his employer. For example, is David was working with some defective piece of equipment, and that caused his injuries, then it’s possible that liability for the accident would fall ultimately onto the manufacturer, and he would have a claim against them. However, workers’ comp benefits would still come from his employer, as he was working when the accident happened.
