When a work injury may involve more than workers compensation
A third-party claim may exist when someone other than your employer contributed to the injury, such as a contractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, delivery company, or negligent driver.
Construction accident information to collect
Helpful facts include job site location, employer, general contractor, witness names, incident reports, photos, OSHA involvement, equipment involved, and medical treatment.
Why location matters
Work injury and construction laws vary widely by state. ZIP code routing helps match the request to firms that handle the relevant jurisdiction.
Frequently asked questions
Can I request a review if I already filed workers compensation?
Yes. A participating lawyer may review whether there is a separate third-party claim.
What if I am undocumented or paid cash?
You can still request a review. Eligibility and rights depend on state law and the facts.
Do construction falls qualify?
They may, especially when ladders, scaffolds, safety devices, contractors, or site rules are involved.
