You May Be Entitled to Additional Damages
Workers' compensation is provided as an employee's exclusive right to benefits after an on-the-job injury. Some injuries, however, are the fault of a negligent third party. If your workplace accident or injury was caused by a negligent third party, you may file a separate personal injury suit for additional compensation.
At the Law Office of Donald D. Zuccarello, we represent people with workers' compensation claims and third-party liability claims. Our attorneys have the experience to investigate the accident and determine liability. If a negligent third party was responsible for your injury, we can file both claims on your behalf. For a free consultation with our Nashville third-party liability claims lawyers, please call 800-391-4525 or contact us online.
Who Can Be a Third Party?
A third party may include anyone not employed by your employer who causes you to be injured on the job. Workplace injuries and wrongful deaths may be caused by third parties such as:
- The negligent driver of a vehicle
- Contractors and subcontractors
- Suppliers and vendors
- Manufacturers of defective tools, machinery, materials or safety equipment
- Manufacturers of toxins and hazardous materials
- Architects and engineers
- Heavy equipment operators
Proving liability in a case with multiple parties can be challenging. Your attorney must have experience with such cases as well as a trusted network of experts to investigate defective product design, structural flaws, vehicle accidents and workplace processes. We have handled thousands of workers' comp and third-party claims, and have the experience to help you collect the compensation you are entitled to receive.
