If You Suffered an Accident at Work Caused By a Third Party, You May Be Entitled to Compensation.

Most workers are familiar with their rights to Workers' Compensation benefits following an on-the-job injury. Third party lawsuits, however, can cause some confusion.

Third party lawsuits can often be filed when someone who doesn't work directly for your employer causes an injury at work. For example, if you are injured at a construction site accident by a contractor's negligence, you can often file a claim against the contractor, as well as file for Workers' Compensation benefits through your employer. Third party claims often bring far more compensation than Workers' Compensation benefits.
