Third Party Claims
If you are injured while working on a construction site, in a factory, or while operating a vehicle, you could be entitled to the all the benefits provided by Tennessee Workers Compensation, and more. If your on the job injury 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 Tennessee Personal Injury Laws. For example, if you were operating a vehicle as part of your employement and are hit by another vehicle, you may also have a claim against the party who caused the accident.
A Third Party case may also occur if the injury was caused by the use of defective equipment or tools. Commonly used equipment can cause injury. We can help you file a case against the manufacturer of the defective equipment. Monetary damages to an injured worker in a Third Party case are frequently greater than a Workers Compensation settlement.
