CALIFORNIA JOB INJURY ATTORNEYS CALIFORNIA THIRD PARTY LIABILITY CASES

THIRD PARTY LIABILITY CLAIMS: On The Job Injuries caused by someone or some company other than your employer or a co-employee, are the basis for an on the job personal injury lawsuit in addition to your California Workers Compensation case.

If you are injured by the negligence or strict liability of a third party ( someone other than your employer or a co-employee) while on the job, you could be entitled to the all of the benefits provided by California Workers Compensation rules, as well as damages provided under California personal injury laws. On the job injuries in California usually fall under the exclusive remedy rule of California worker’s compensation law. However, if you are injured by a negligently manufactured or defectively designed machine, for example, you may have an additional claim against the manufacturer of the defective product (defectively designed or manufactured equipment) that injured you. In addition to your California workers comp benefits, you may be entitled to 100% of your lost wages, as well as lost future earning potential, and pain and suffering. Such damages are not completely covered under Workmans comp laws.

Construction site accidents are a leading cause of on the job injuries in California. Construction workers such as laborers, plumbers, shipyard workers, electricians, pipe fitters, sheet metal workers, roofers and carpenters are often injured on the job by faulty equipment or hazards or dangerous conditions on the premises where they are working. In such cases, if they suffer an on the job injury because of the property owner’s negligence, they may also have the right to file a third party liability law suit in California.

If you are injured on a construction site because of the negligence of an employee of the general contractor of another subcontractor, the injured worker could have a potential Third Party case against the subcontractor, general contractor or the property owner.

Other common third party liability claims arise from transportation or delivery scenarios. If you were involved in a big rig truck accident, or delivery van, or any kind of motor vehicle collision or accident injury while on the job, and someone else was at fault, you may be able to file a third party liability claim. If your on the job injury in California was caused by the negligence of any outside third party (not your employer or co-employee) you may be entitled to file a Third Party Lawsuit under California Personal Injury Laws.
