Workplace Accidents, Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury ClaimsIf you are injured in a workplace accident, your first source of compensation for unpaid medical expenses and lost wages is the Pennsylvania workers' compensation system. You may have heard that the workers' comp system is your only available source of compensation but this is not necessarily true. If a person or company besides the company you work for played a part in causing the workplace accident that injured you, you may be able to file a separate personal injury claim for additional compensation. This concept is known as third-party liability. One example of a workplace accident that could give rise to a separate personal injury claim is a construction site accident such as a fall or an accident caused by heavy equipment. Perhaps you fell from scaffolding and suffered serious injury to your knee, back or shoulder. If you fell because the subcontractor that erected the scaffolding did so improperly, then you may be able to file a personal injury claim against that subcontractor. A second example of a workplace accident that could give rise to a separate personal injury claim is an industrial accident caused by malfunctioning machinery. Our attorneys would work with experts to examine the machinery that caused the accident, in order to determine if the machine was designed or manufactured with poor regard for safety. If our experts determine that the machine was defective in design or manufacture, then we may be able to file a separate personal injury claim on your behalf.
