Filing Third-Party Liability Claims To Help You Recover Additional damages

If you were hurt while working on a construction site, you are entitled to workers’ compensation. However, workers’ comp does not provide compensation for pain and suffering or for all of the income lost because of the accident.

In many construction accident cases, there is a valid third-party liability claim. Essentially, that means if a third party – other than a co-worker or your own employer – caused your injury, then you can file a personal injury claim to recover compensation above and beyond what the workers’ comp system provides. Examples of potential third-party claims include:

  • Claims against the maker of a defective scaffolding
  • Claims against a subcontractor
  • Claims against the manufacturer of a defective tool or piece of equipment
