Hundreds of thousands of people are injured on the job every year.  While many people  injured in workplace accidents will only be allowed to receive workers’ compensation benefits from their employer, we are experts in investigating workplace injuries to determine whether other sources of recovery are available to you.  If a  “third party” (someone other than your employer or a coworker)  was fully or partly responsible for your work injury,  claims can be made against them.  Third party claims allow an injured worker to recover more than the limited benefits that are available through workers’ compensation.  You can make a third party claim even though you are receiving workers’ compensation benefits.  

The facts and law governing third party claims can be confusing.  What may at first look like a work injury for which workers compensation is the only source of compensation can be a case where a large third party recovery is possible. The following are examples of workplace injuries that can result in third party claims.

Electrocution
Chemical Exposure
Compressed Gasses Hazards
Cave Ins
Falls
Crane Accidents
Dangerous and Defective Machines
Explosions
Logging Accidents
Mechanical Hazards
Scaffolding Accidents
Nail Gun Accidents
Welding, Cutting and Brazing Accidents
