Can I Sue a Third Party for My Work Injury in Pennsylvania?

Описание: Third-Party Lawsuits: Maximizing Your Compensation After a PA Work Injury

You've been injured on the job in Pennsylvania, and you're receiving workers' compensation benefits. But what if your injury wasn't just your employer's fault? What if a third party was also responsible? This video will explain what a "third-party lawsuit" is and how it can be a powerful tool for maximizing your compensation.

Defining a Third Party: We'll define a "third party" as any individual or company other than your employer or a co-worker that caused or contributed to your work injury.

Examples of Third Parties: We'll provide some common examples of third-party claims, such as:
A subcontractor on a construction site who creates a dangerous condition.
A manufacturer of a defective piece of equipment that malfunctions and injures you.
A negligent driver who hits you while you are driving for work.

The Power of a Third-Party Lawsuit: We'll explain the key benefits of a third-party lawsuit. In a third-party lawsuit, you can seek compensation for things that are not covered by workers' compensation, such as:
Pain and suffering.
Emotional distress.
Punitive damages.

A Separate, Parallel Claim: We'll clarify that a third-party lawsuit is a separate claim from your workers' compensation case. You can pursue both at the same time, but there may be an "offset" that needs to be addressed.

Getting a Lawyer Involved: We'll strongly advise consulting with a Pennsylvania workers' compensation lawyer. An attorney can evaluate your case to determine if there is a potential third-party claim and help you navigate both legal avenues to get the full compensation you deserve.

This video is for any injured worker in Pennsylvania who wants to know if they can seek additional compensation beyond workers' compensation.
