Can I Sue My Employer? - http://accident-law.freeadvice.com/construction_accidents/sue_employer_construction_site.htmAn employee or dependent of an employee is given the option to sue or pursue a workers' compensation remedy if the employer is not insured or not an approved self-insurer.
When an employee decides to sue the employer for failure to insure, the employee does not have a claim against the employer's general liability carrier, since the injury happened in the course of employment and is excluded from such coverage.
When an employee is injured in a work-related vehicle accident and there is no workers' compensation coverage, the employee may still recover from the employer's or employee's auto insurance for first-party benefits
If injury or death to an employee is caused by a third party, then the employee, his lawyer, husband or wife, parents, dependents, next of kin, and anyone otherwise entitled to receive damages may bring their action at law against such third party, except the employer, his insurance carrier, their agents, and other employees.
