Even if you are hurt on the job you may have a claim against a third party for damages in personal injury. The Workers’ Compensation law is very specific as to medical care and employer liability. However, if your injuries are caused by a third party while you are working, then it is possible that the third party may be held responsible for your injuries and a claim can be asserted against that third party even though your medical bills and wages are being paid through Worker’s Compensation insurance. Your Worker’s Compensation carrier has certain lien rights which must be addressed and an attorney who is familiar and versed in personal injury law will be able to advise you of your rights.
