Workers' compensation usually prevents you from suing your own employer, but it does not protect other companies or people whose negligence caused your injury. A third-party claim can allow recovery for losses that workers' compensation does not cover, such as pain and suffering and full lost wages.
Examples of Third-Party Claims
- A driver who hit you while you were driving for work
- A subcontractor whose crew created a hazard on a shared site
- A manufacturer of defective machinery, tools or safety equipment
- A property owner who failed to address a dangerous condition
