If you are injured on a construction site while doing your job, you likely have a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. What many construction workers do not know is that, depending on the circumstances of the incident, they may also have grounds to seek additional damages under a separate personal injury claim — frequently referred to as third-party claims.
A third-party claim may be advisable when the negligence of someone other than your employer was responsible for the accident that caused your injuries. Understanding which third parties are often sued in specific construction site accidents can help to ensure that victims receive total compensation for their injuries and that all negligent parties are held accountable.
