Helping Workers With Third-Party Claims

In many workers’ compensation cases, there are two parties involved: the worker and employer.

Because workers’ compensation is referred to as a “no-fault” system, negligence does not matter in the equation. In contrast, personal injury cases are focused on negligence.

If a third party — someone not directly employed by the employer — caused an injury through negligence, an injured worker may pursue a third-party claim. A common example occurs with vehicle drivers; when a worker was driving while performing a business function and struck by another driver, he or she may suffer an injury. When this happens because of the third-party driver, the worker can pursue a claim to recover damages for suffering, pain and future economic damages.

The interaction between the two systems can be extremely complicated, however. As such, it is vital that you understand how to maximize your compensation if you have been injured on a work site. Failure to take advantage of these claims can result in financial catastrophe.
