Worksite Accidents
Workers' compensation rarely covers the full financial impact of a serious worksite injury — and when your employer isn't the only party responsible, you may have an independent claim outside the workers' comp system entirely. This is often called a “third-party case.”
If your accident involved faulty machinery or scaffolding, was caused by someone not associated with your job, or happened on a construction site, you may be entitled to recover damages workers' compensation simply doesn't provide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is workers' compensation not enough?
It rarely covers the full financial impact of a serious injury, and it doesn't allow recovery from parties other than your employer.
Who else could be responsible?
Equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, or property owners not affiliated with your employer, depending on how the accident happened.
