We are often asked “If I’m hurt on the job is workers comp the only form of compensation I can receive?”  The answer is often “no, if anyone or any other party contributed to your injury you may be able to pursue a third party injury claim.”

If you are injured on the job you are required to seek medical attention and inform your employer of those injuries as soon as possible.  The experienced injury attorneys at Hargadon, Lenihan & Herrington, PLLC represent those who are injured at work.  We help to fill out all workers compensation forms to ensure they receive the benefits to which our clients are entitled.  In many cases, there may also be a valid third party injury claim against another party.

For example, if you were working on a construction site and you were struck and injured by a forklift driven by another sub-contractor you would have a valid third party injury claim.

Of course, third party injury claims aren’t limited to construction related accidents.  Your employer might send you to an outside business to purchase a part or supplies and while you are running this work related errand you are involved in a car accident caused by another party.  Third party injury claims can apply to other companies associated with your workplace including but not limited to:

• Security Companies
• Food Service Organizations
• Cleaning and Janitorial Services
• Sub-Contractors and Outside Vendors
