Third Party Personal Injury Claims

Third Party Personal Injury Claims Attorney in Cook County

Construction sites and work sites are dangerous places. The scaffolding provided by a third-party vendor could collapse on you, causing serious injury. The crane operator brought in for the day may be well-trained, but the crane provided by an outside company may be poorly maintained or have a defective part.

When injuries on the job are caused by the carelessness of someone other than your employer — a third party — you may entitled to pursue a personal injury claim as well as a workers' compensation claim.

The Complexities of Third Party Claims

Third party claims of negligence are complex, and require seasoned personal injury counsel for a positive outcome. You cannot sue your employer, so you would file for workers' compensation benefits for workplace injuries, including delivery truck injuries.

As an injured worker, you have the right to sue the careless third party for money damages over and above what you receive in workers' compensation benefits. You may recover compensation for pain and suffering or anxiety due to the workplace accident injury caused by a subcontractor, property owner or vendor. If you recover money damages from the third party, your employer may be entitled to part of the recovery.

It is critical to your case that your construction accident be reviewed by an expert as soon as possible after the accident. We need to preserve evidence of the harm that was done to you, and there is usually a two-year time limit to present third party claims in Illinois.
