A workers compensation claim generally speaking is when you are hurt on the job or when performing the job you were hired to do.
On the other hand a personal injury claim, generally speaking is when someone else does or does not do something that they should do, and it causes you harm.
You can in some cases have both a workers compensation claim and a personal injury or third party claim.
