Many workplace injuries are covered by workers’ compensation, but some accidents involve negligence from third parties who are not your employer. When this occurs, injured workers may be able to pursue a third-party injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
A third-party workplace injury claim can allow victims to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages that may not be fully covered through workers’ compensation.
If you were injured on the job due to another party’s negligence, the attorneys at Moss Berg can help evaluate your legal options.

Compensation in Third-Party Injury Claims
Unlike workers’ compensation claims, third-party injury lawsuits may allow injured workers to recover additional damages such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Full lost wage compensation
- Future medical treatment
- Loss of earning capacity
Because these cases involve complex liability issues, working with an experienced personal injury attorney can help ensure your rights are protected.
