Let us help you navigate this claim and make sure you are fully represented and get the protection you need.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A third-party claim is a claim against a person or entity (third-party), other than your employer, who is at fault for an injury you suffered while at work. In these cases, the injured worker may make a claim against the person who caused their injury in addition to their <a href=\"http:\/\/adamshillhess.com\/areas-of-law\/workmans-comp-lawyer-salem\/\">workers\u2019 compensation claim<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common type of third-party case is an automobile accident which occurs while the injured worker is on the job and which is caused by another driver. The third-party is the driver who caused the accident and the injured worker may make a claim against the other driver in addition to their workers\u2019 compensation claim. Another common scenario where there may be a third-party claim is where a third-party\u2019s property is unsafe or dangerous and causes an injury to you while you are on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third-party claims are extremely complex because they involve multiple parties and different legal standards.
