Can an Attorney Pursue Both Workers’ Compensation Benefits and a Third-Party Injury Claim?

Yes. Workers’ compensation provides benefits for a job-related injury, including medical treatment and partial wage replacement. In most cases, you cannot sue your direct employer for negligence. However, you may have a separate third-party personal injury claim if another party contributed to the accident.

Potential third parties include a property owner, general contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, architect, engineer, or material supplier. A third-party claim may seek damages workers’ compensation does not cover, such as pain and suffering, full lost earning capacity, and loss of enjoyment of life. 

The Law Offices of Matthew Cohan handles both types of claims and works to address workers’ compensation liens as part of the recovery.
