Work Injuries Caused by Third Parties: If you are injured at work, your injury will typically be handled through the workers compensation system. However, if you were injured at work as the result of the negligence or intentional wrongdoing of someone other than your employer or a co-worker, then you may have a third party claim against the person who injured you.
For example, if you are involved in an automobile accident while operating a company vehicle you will have the right to pursue a workers compensation claim for your injuries as well as a personal injury claim against the person who hit you. Or, if a supplier comes to your place of work and injures you off loading equipment, then you would also have a personal injury claim against the supplier.
In many instances you can receive more compensation through a third party personal injury claim then you could through filing a workers compensation claim. In many cases, it may benefit you to file both claims to protect your interests.
