When on-the-job injuries occur, people may automatically look to their workers' compensation benefits. However, there may be additional compensation available if your injury was caused by a third party. Some examples of third-party claims in a workers' compensation setting include:
- A subcontractor or outside vendor who is also working on your job site creates some sort of dangerous condition that caused or contributed to your being injured.
- While driving for your job, you are involved in an accident and another driver is at fault.
In both of these instances, workers' compensation is appropriate because the injury occurred during the course of performing normal job duties. But, the other party may also bear responsibility for your injuries.
