A: First if its on the job, usually fault doesn't matter. Talk to a member of the Ky. Assn for Justice who handles comp. You may have product, other issues--you didn't give many facts.

If you think you are partly at fault do not discuss how this happened on any social media or any page like this--insurance companies read these pages, find their way onto Facebook.
