Q: Attacked by yellow jackets at work
We were asked to start a project as soon after starting we were attacked by yellow jackets I was stung 20 to 30 times on the back of my head and throughout my body. I was wondering if there was any legal action I can take
A: Assuming you required medical treatment, the expenses should be paid by your employer's workers' compensation insurance. You probably don't have a personal injury claim against your employer, assuming they had that required coverage. And there's not likely a claim against anyone else, unless they somehow caused or encouraged the bees to attack you.
Halston Davis and Tim Rose agree with this answer
A: Most likely worker's compensation, depending on the seriousness of the injury.

A: I agree with the advice given. It is unlikely that you will find a negligent third party in this case. Fortunately for you, given a few assumptions, you should have a valid claim for workers compensation in Utah.
