Who is Responsible for Accidents at Work

When you get hurt at work, the best thing to do after being treated for your injuries is to contact a personal injury attorney. By enlisting an experienced and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer, you will have an expert on your side who can fully investigate your case, determine who was at fault, and which party is liable. These actions are vital as many times, the individual who caused the accident is not legally liable. Instead, the employer is responsible for your injury and liable to pay you damages.

However, the party liable for your injuries also depends on the circumstances surrounding your injury. If a coworker or independent contractor for your employer was negligent or reckless and you not covered under workers’ compensation insurance, you may be able to sue your employer. If an employee from another company is at fault, then that business may be liable. Finally, if someone such as a customer or client who was not working caused the accident, that person may be liable.

Difference Between Workers’ Compensation and Third-Party Claims

When you are injured on the job, your first thought may be to contact workers’ compensation insurance. In most cases, you will be covered and may be able to obtain medical insurance and wage benefits. If you can utilize workers’ compensation, you will file your claim with your employer through their insurance company. If this goes smoothly, you will have no reason to file a lawsuit.

A third-party claim is separate from workers’ compensation. You would use a third-party lawsuit when a person or business other than your employer is the entity responsible for your injuries. In this case, you can file a lawsuit against the liable entity and seek compensation.

Further, these claims also differ on the type of compensation they can offer you. Workers’ compensation usually only covers your medical expenses and a limited portion of your wages. It does not cover any additional expenses you incur or damages for your pain and suffering. However, when utilizing a third-party lawsuit, you are able to receive damages for all of your economic and non-economic injuries.
