Injured Employees
If you are an employee who has been injured in a fire accident, you may pursue a personal injury claim through multiple channels. In addition to pursuing a general civil claim, you may apply to your employer for employees’ compensation under the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance, which covers medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and loss of earnings arising from the work-related injury. This statutory compensation scheme operates independently, and you are not required to establish negligence on the part of the employer in order to make a claim.
At the same time, if you consider that the employer or any other relevant party was negligent in the incident, you may also consider commencing civil proceedings to seek additional damages.
