Answer
Absolutely, and that goes back to one of the main purposes of creating the Workers’ Compensation Act—you no longer have to show that anyone was at fault. More importantly, with very few exceptions, even if the injury was your fault—because you were negligent or perhaps just not being as careful as you should have been—that has absolutely no bearing on your ability to receive workers’ compensation benefits for having injured yourself or suffered an injury at work. The only real exception would be if you were doing something so forbidden by your employer or so far outside the scope of your work that your injury had nothing to do with work-related activities. But if you were injured simply because you tripped on something at work—something you arguably should have seen or been more careful around—that alone does not preclude you from receiving workers’ comp benefits. You would still be entitled to those benefits, assuming you met the other necessary factors.
