If a third party (someone other than your employer or co-worker) caused your work-related injury, you might be able to file both a worker's compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit. This is known as a "third-party claim."
For example, if you were injured in a car accident while driving for work, you could file a worker's compensation claim and potentially sue the at-fault driver. A Workers’ Compensation Lawyer can answer your questions about third party claims.
