Workers' Compensation Lawyer NYC

All manner of injured workers should avail themselves of the full benefits to which they are entitled under the workers’ compensation system. The workers’ compensation system offers injured workers access to immediate health care and lost wage benefits that can help an injured worker begin his or her journey toward recovery.

What is a Third-party Claim

What many injured workers are unaware of is the fact that in certain situations there is the possibility to secure additional compensation beyond what is available through their employer’s workers’ compensation coverage.

In situations where the injury was caused by any party aside from the employer and the employee, perhaps a subcontractor or a vendor working on the same work site, the injured worker can pursue compensation from whoever caused the accident.

These are called third-party claims. This type of claim is different than a workers’ compensation claim. These claims are pursued through traditional personal injury means, i.e., through the courts.
