How Workers’ Compensation Are Different from Third Party Claims
Many workers in Queens are covered by Workers’ Compensation insurance and can get relief after an injury. Workers’ Compensation does not establish fault and is not a lawsuit.
However, it will only cover your medical costs and a portion of your wages. It won’t cover everything.
If someone outside of your employer or a coworker caused your injuries, you might also be able to file a third-party personal injury claim to get full compensation for all of your losses.
It’s important to work with a Queens personal injury attorney who knows workplace injury law and can help you determine the best course of action for you.
Who Might Be Responsible For an Injury on the Job?
While your employer or a coworker may have caused your injuries, there are other people and companies who may be at fault as well. A thorough investigation into your workplace accident can determine all of the parties that might be to blame.
Common third parties that are responsible for injuries on the job include:
