Workers’ Compensation and Third-Party Claims

In many cases, you may be eligible to file both a workers’ compensation claim and a third-party injury claim if someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your accident.


Our firm has extensive experience maximizing benefits and compensation through both avenues, ensuring that every possible source of recovery is pursued on your behalf.

  • What compensation am I entitled to after a construction or industrial accident?

    You may receive workers’ compensation benefits covering medical costs and partial wage replacement. If a third-party claim applies, you can also seek additional compensation for pain and suffering, full lost wages, and more.

  • Can I file a claim against someone other than my employer

    Yes. If a third party (such as a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer) contributed to your injury, you may pursue a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation.

  • Is the consultation free?

    Yes. We provide a free initial consultation to review your situation and explain your legal options with no obligation.

  • Do I pay any fees up front?

    No. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we win your case.

  • How long do I have to file a claim after an industrial accident?

    There are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for both workers’ compensation and third-party claims. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
