Workers’ Compensation & Third Party Liability
As a general rule, when a person suffers a work related injury, their only method of recovery is through a workers’ compensation claim. However, there are a few key exceptions that could lead to further recovery. A third party liability attorney may be able to help you.
One exception is when a person is injured by a third party. For example, if you were injured by an independent contractor while working on a construction site, you may have a basis to receive compensation through a personal injury claim and through a workers’ compensation claim. Or, if you were injured on the job by a defective product, you may be able to receive compensation through a workers’ compensation claim and a products liability claim.
Auto Accidents on the Work Site
Another exception to the general rule of workers’ compensation exclusivity is the automobile accident exception. If you are injured by a car, truck, or other motor vehicle while at your place of employment, you may have a right to pursue compensation through workers’ compensation and a personal injury lawsuit.
