Whatt o do if my company’s insurer let me know that the WC claim I filed over a month ago should be a liability claim?

Whatt o do if my company’s insurer let me know that the WC claim I filed over a month ago should be a liability claim?

What will happen now? The claim is still in deferred status and the adjuster said that they will still send me a check for missed work. However, I will be filing a liability claim with my employer’s insurance and they will be denying the WC claim. What will happen now? Will my medical providers continue to bill them the same so that they are not asking for money from me now? Will I get checks for missed work like a WC claim? Do you think liability is the better way to go?
