Personal Injury

Work-Related Accidents

Many people believe that if they are involved in a work related accident, their recovery is limited by what they are entitled to through workers’ compensation. Often, they are correct; however, in some cases, other third parties may be held responsible for your injuries. Taylor & Taylor’s experienced attorneys can help you determine which parties may have contributed to your accident and injuries.

What Are the Most Common Work-Related Injuries?

The National Safety Council reports that a U.S. worker is injured every 7 seconds. Some of the most common workplace injuries include:

  • Slips, trips, and falls
  • Muscle strains
  • Injury from falling objects
  • Crashes and collisions
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Inhalation of toxic fumes
  • Prolonged exposure to loud noises
About Third-Party Claims in Workplace Accidents

Workers’ compensation claims pay for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Occupational therapy
  • A portion of your lost income

Workers’ compensation claims do not provide the same compensation as personal injury claims, which can account for noneconomic damages like pain and suffering. 

In some cases, you can file for not only workers’ compensation, but also for a third-party claim against the person, company, or entity responsible for your accident and injuries in the workplace.

Examples of third-party work-related injury claims include:

  • Defective product claims (including construction site tools/equipment, warehouse equipment, etc.)
  • Car accident injury claims while on the job (caused by another driver)
  • Toxic exposure claims
  • Claims against negligent government agencies and other entities

The above claims can involve the following parties:

  • Independent contractors
  • Manufacturers
  • Third-party suppliers
  • More
