What Exactly Is A Third Party Claim In The Workplace?
A third-party claim in a personal injury lawsuit is when someone, aside from the defendant or plaintiff in the case, can be held liable for any damages resulting from an injury. These claims are often managed through a legal process involving insurance companies, insurance adjuster, and law firms and involve both civil responsibility as well as potential criminal negligence on behalf of the third party involved.
Injured workers often able to file third-party claim even if they 1.) receive workers' compensation benefits, 2.) receive a denial of benefits letter, 3.) are deemed 'at-fault in causing the accident, 4.) receive return-to-work order from a company doctor, or 4.) are fired by their employer. Third-party lawsuits are great recovery option for anyone harmed by the negligent or reckless actions of a person other than the workers' direct employer.
Examples of Third Party Claims Filed By Our Law Firm
Third party claims in personal injury litigation can take on many forms. In construction accidents, for instance, parties such as property owners, construction companies, and contractors may bear some legal responsibility depending upon the circumstances of the accident. As an example, if the victim works for Exxon, receives worker's compensation, but is damaged by falling scaffold designed by Xhalt, then Xhalt could be help liable for an additional sum.
Third party claims often occur on construction sites, chemical plants, offshore drilling platforms, or in premises liability cases, automobile accidents, and product liability claims. In cases involving medical malpractice, a hospital or clinic could be held liable if the injured party was misdiagnosed or inadequately treated by their staff. In any of these situations, the injured party may seek compensation from any other individual or entity whose negligence may have contributed to their harm. Though more complex than traditional liability claims against a single defendant, the potential to have a third-party case is common on worksites.
How To Determine If A Third Party Claim Is Possible
Making a claim against a third party after sustaining an injury can be a lengthy and complex process. Investigating the circumstances, gathering evidence and tracking down relevant records are all essential in order to determine the possibility of such a claim. It is important to assess who was responsible for causing the injury and if there is sufficient proof that their negligence played a part.
In addition, it is useful to find out if any applicable insurance policies or similar measures can offer financial protection for losses incurred as part of the incident. Given the determination involved, seeking professional legal advice from an experienced lawyer may often prove beneficial in gaining a successful outcome.
Can I Receive Workers' Compensation Benefits And Still File A Third Party Claim?
Yes. In Texas, individuals are able to receive workers' compensation benefits for their losses and may also be eligible for additional compensation through filing a third-party claim. Third-party claims in this case involve pursuing a claim against someone other than the employer who is responsible for any damages sustained from the incident that led to the employee's losses. Although both options offer financial assistance, they do not have overlapping policies; therefore it is important to seek counsel before making a decision on which path best suits your needs.
What Should I Do if I Was Injured on Third-Party Property?

Common Injuries In These Personal Injury Lawsuits
Persons who have suffered a personal injury are often faced with serious medical issues, some with which include:
Because of the severity of their injuries, it may take recovery time that interrupts their normal everyday activities and life in general. In many cases, serious injury victims require long hospital stays and ongoing medical care in order to return to an acceptable level of functioning.
Furthermore, some of the injured party's expenses might not be covered by insurance, leaving them with mounting financial distress due to lost wages or expensive treatments that must be self-financed. It is clear these individuals require all necessary support for recovering as quickly as possible and reclaiming a normal, healthy lifestyle.
What Types of Damages Can Be Recovered in a Personal in claim in Texas?
In Texas, a personal injury claim allows an injured victim to recover economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages
Personal injury lawsuits provide an opportunity for plaintiffs to be compensated for any economic damages that result from their injury. Economic damages can include any financial losses directly related to the incident, such as medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages due to time off work, property damage costs, and more. Other types may include anticipated future earnings if the injured person’s ability to make money has been affected, costs associated with necessary caregiving or job retraining, and legal fees resulting from the case. In addition, economic damages also cover intangible losses like pain and suffering or emotional distress; while they may be harder to put a price tag on in monetary terms, they are still a valid element of consideration in assessing the compensation the plaintiff is entitled to receive.
Non-Economic Damage
Non-economic damages are those that are nonphysical such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and any other effects that can be attributed to the personal injury. Pain and suffering would include physical pain, mental anguish associated with the injury, impairment of daily activities, depression or anxiety due to medical issues related to the injury, or anything else considered an inconvenience related to the injury. Loss of consortium focuses on impacts felt by close family members, in terms of financial support or quality time spent together. Finally, emotional distress covers any mental anguish caused by the injury including fear or property damage that may have been experienced during the accident itself. Personal Injury lawsuits cover all these damages so people who have suffered physically and mentally can recover what is rightfully owed to them for their hardship..

5/5 Stars
It is RARE to experience outstanding customer service from every single person you come in contact with at an organization, but that is what I got from Sneed & Mitchell LLP! I talked with Attorney Niles Sneed personally when I went through my accident, and he allayed my worries and provided valuable counsel to ensure that nothing fell through the cracks! Once the ball was rolling, I worked with Jordan, who kept me updated about the progress of my case and ensured that my interactions with healthcare providers went seamlessly. If I would use a relay race analogy, it is Darelis Vega who took me to the finish line, and boy, was she the right person for the job. Her attention to detail and follow-through got me a settlement that was higher than I would have received otherwise. You cannot go wrong with this team!
