Workplace injuries can have devastating consequences, leaving you with mounting medical bills, lost wages, and a long road to recovery. At Alpha Law Firm, we specialize in handling third-party liability claims for workers injured on the job due to someone else’s negligence. If you’ve been hurt at work because of a third party’s actions or unsafe conditions, we’re here to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
What Are Workplace Injury Claims?
Workplace injury claims differ from traditional workers’ compensation cases. They can and often do exist in addition to any claim you may have under your employer’s worker’s compensation scheme.
These claims involve third-party liability, where an individual or entity other than your employer caused your injury. Common examples include:
- Negligent Contractors or Subcontractors: Injuries caused by unsafe practices or negligence from individuals working alongside you.
- Defective Equipment or Machinery: Accidents resulting from faulty tools or machinery manufactured or maintained by third parties.
- Unsafe Premises: Hazards on a job site or workplace property managed by someone other than your employer.
- Vehicle Accidents: Collisions involving third-party drivers while you were performing work-related duties.
Examples of Third-Party Liability in Workplace Injuries
- Construction Site Accidents:
- Falls caused by improperly installed scaffolding by a subcontractor.
- Injuries from heavy machinery operated by another contractor.
- Industrial Accidents:
- Chemical burns or exposure due to a defective product provided by an outside vendor.
- Equipment malfunctions caused by inadequate maintenance by a third-party contractor.
- Delivery or Transportation Accidents:
- Vehicle collisions caused by negligent third-party drivers while on the job.
