Vigorously Seeking Compensation From Negligent Parties in Workplace Injury Cases
In Illinois, you are entitled to collect workers' compensation benefits for any injury sustained in the course of your employment. In exchange for this right, you are not allowed to sue your employer. However, if someone other than your employer caused your injury, you may be entitled to pursue a third party liability claim for your losses against the negligent individual or entity.
My name is Brian T. Morrow. I am dedicated to protecting the rights of injured workers in Southwest Chicago. An attorney with 32 years of legal experience working in my favor, I help people like you hold liable parties accountable for their negligent actions.
Free evaluation of a potential third party liability claim relating to your workers' compensation case
There are several instances in which a third party might be liable for a workplace injury, including:
- Contractors getting into accidents when driving between work sites
- Crane operator accidents causing construction site injuries
- Delivery drivers being attacked by homeowners' dogs
- Service providers slipping and falling due to ice on residential or commercial property
A third party liability claim can be brought against an independent contractor, subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, supplier or other party. As your lawyer, I will identify liability and fight to obtain the compensation you deserve.
If someone besides your employer is responsible for your injury, you may seek damages in addition to your workers' compensation benefits, pursuing recovery for pain and suffering, emotional distress and disability. Any award above your workers' compensation benefits is not limited by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act.
