Have you suffered a serious injury while at work? If your injury was caused by a third party, you have a legal right to recover financial compensation from the person or organization that caused you harm. These types of claims allow you to recover damages for pain and suffering that are not paid through workers’ compensation. A Watertown work injury lawyer at D’Amico & Pettinicchi, LLC stands up for injured workers.

Please note that we do not handle workers’ compensation cases; our personal injury attorneys only represent injured workers with third-party claims. If you need help with a workers’ compensation claim, we can refer you to a workers’ compensation attorney.

What’s a Third-Party Work Injury Claim?

For example, if you work as a visiting nurse and get rear-ended and injured while on your way to a patient’s home, even though this happened during work hours, you have a third-party work injury claim against the person who rear-ended you.

Some other examples of third-party claims include:

  • You were on another company’s property in the course of your job duties (such as visiting a client’s office), and the injury occurred due to dangerous conditions on the premises
  • You were injured due to the negligence of a separate company responsible for managing or maintaining your physical workspace
  • You were injured due to defective equipment or machinery manufactured by another company
