Frequently, when an injury is incurred, there may be several claims arising out of the same accident. A common example is if you are injured in an automobile accident while working for your employer. If the accident is not your fault, then you may have a claim against the driver of the other vehicle for your personal injuries as well a workers' compensation claim against your employer. It is generally to your advantage to have the same law firm handle all of the claims arising out a common accident. This can eliminate duplication of time and expenses, resulting in greater understanding of the circumstances surrounding your claim, and enabling your attorney to coordinate the multiple claims to your maximum advantage.
