2. I was injured at work. Is the legal procedure for my claim against my employer for employment/work-related injuries different from the procedure for a personal injury claim?

For work-related injuries, the procedure for employees' compensation under the Employees' Compensation Ordinance is not the same as in personal injury cases, as described above. A number of different statutory forms apply to employees' compensation instead of the pre-trial procedure under the Practice Direction 18.1 (set by the Judiciary) for personal injury litigation.
