If you’re injured at work, contact us today so we can help determine if your employer or a third party entity is responsible and pursue compensation.
third Party Liability
When a person becomes injured because of a negligent third party either by action or omission, this is referred to as “Third-party Liability”.
This claim does not blame the employer, supervisor, or co-worker.
Common third party liability claims are usually the result of car accidents in between work sites, manufacturing defects, design defects, accidents at a job site owned by someone other than your employer.
Third party claims will compensate you for non-economic damages and punitive damages, whereas Workers’ Compensation will not. You must prove negligence or fault of the third party.
