What’s a Third-Party Claim?

Most people injured on the job are generally restricted to workers’ compensation benefits and cannot sue their employer. However, there is an exception if someone, other than your employer, is at fault for your injuries—aka a third party. This could include a different contractor on the same job site, a delivery truck, or the manufacturer of a defective tool or product. You can file these claims in addition to your workers’ compensation claim, and they generally have a larger payout.
