Claims Against a Third Party for Personal Injury
Free Case Evaluation
NOTICE
We help injured persons seeking compensation for their injuries. We represent individuals and small businesses with insurance claims that have been denied or other contract disputes. We DO NOT represent insurance companies or big business.
If you are injured by the negligence of another party while on the job, like being injured in a car accident, you have the right to file two legal claims. You can file a workers’ compensation claim with your employer and a third-party claim against the negligent person or party (not employed by your company) who caused your injury. You can collect damages from both claims. However, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company may recover reimbursement from any third-party settlement you make with the at-fault party. To make sure you receive all of the compensation you deserve, you should work with an experienced workers’ comp injury attorney in this situation.
Workers’ Compensation Third Party Claims
In addition to car accidents, third party claims may arise if you were hurt at work as the result of faulty or defective equipment, a product defect, a defective tool, or another dangerous product, or if you were injured in a construction accident caused by another contractor, or in an explosion caused by another contractor. These are just some examples of third party claims. At the law firm of Hemmings & Stevens, PLLC, we will determine whether there is some party other than your employer who is responsible for your injury and help you recover the damages you deserve.
