Filing Workplace Third-Party Liability Claims
A third party in the workplace can be a considerable threat to employees. An inexperienced contractor only needs a moment to cause an accident that leaves you with a lifetime of injuries. When a workplace injury happens because of a third party, you may be able to seek compensation from the liable party in addition to your workers’ compensation.
At Christensen Law Office, PC, in Sioux Falls, we help injured workers get back on their feet. Unlike typical premises liability cases, our focus is on workplace incidents where a third party’s involvement is a critical factor. Sometimes, during the course of a workers’ compensation claim, it becomes evident that the injuries sustained were not just a result of the workplace environment but also due to rented or contracted machinery and equipment.
Navigating Complex Cases With A Personal Touch
These cases often involve a third party who is jointly responsible for the injuries you have sustained. For instance, if you are a delivery driver involved in a vehicular accident while on the job, or if you’re a store clerk assaulted by an unruly customer, there is an additional layer of liability beyond your employer’s responsibility.
Our firm’s approach to these cases is both thorough and personal. We take the time to gather all the information available and meticulously review it to ensure the responsible party is accountable for their actions. From reviewing medical records to footage of the accident, we will do everything possible to build the strongest case we can against the third party that harmed you.
Our lawyers recognize that dealing with an injury is challenging enough without the added stress of a complex legal case. That is why we are here to take that burden off your shoulders. With our deep understanding of South Dakota’s legal landscape and our commitment to the community, we provide the support and advocacy you need to secure the compensation you deserve.
