Effect Of A Lawsuit On Subsequent Lawsuits
According to the
majority of states, where exclusivity does not apply and the employee
tries to sue in one forum, such as under the Workers’ Compensation
statute, and loses, he/she can try again in the other forum, such as
in tort. However, an exception applies where the employee failed to
diligently pursue his/her claim in the first forum.
