Can I sue a co-worker if he or she caused my on-the-job injury?

Posted on July 1, 2008 by Seth Bader

Maybe.  If your co-worker intended to injure you or injured you during a fight that he or she started, you may be able to sue your co-worker and you may also be able to sue your employer.  But if your co-worker caused or contributed your injury by acting in a negligent or careless manner, you will not be able to sue because your "exclusive remedy" will be workers' compensation.
