On-the-job injuries can be complex, not just the recovery but the pursuit of compensation. While most people are familiar with the workers’ compensation system, there are some instances where there are additional sources of compensation available besides workers’ compensation. These are called third-party claims, and a personal injury attorney can help navigate these options.

What Is A Third-Party Claim?

A third-party claim is a type of claim that arises after a work-related accident and injury that was caused by someone other than the employer or an employee, that is, a third party. Here are some examples of third-party claims:

• Employee driving as part of his or her job and is struck by another driver. The other driver is the third party.
• Employee is injured by defective equipment. The manufacturer of the defective equipment is the third party.
• Subcontractor on job site creates hazard that injured worker of another contractor. The subcontractor who created the hazard is the third party.

Can I Pursue Compensation For A Third-Party Claim And A Workers’ Compensation Claim?

A workers’ compensation claim pursues benefits and compensation through your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance, whereas a third-party claim pursues compensation from the outside party who caused the accident.
