There are certain occupations that are exposed to a greater risk of injury and death than others. For example, those in construction, people working with hazardous materials and other such occupations may be more likely to be injured on their work site than those working in an office, or in a low hazard zone. Depending on the cause of the injury and who was at fault in the incident, workers who are injured on their jobsite may be entitled to compensation for their injuries. They may be able to seek out worker’s compensation through the government, or directly sue their employers in a civil lawsuit.
