Third-Party Liability Work Injuries

The Jones Act And FELA

If you are injured, it is important that you have an attorney right away. It is frequent that an action has to be filed immediately to gain access to the premises and preserve the evidence.

When you are hurt on the job as a direct employee, you are entitled to certain workers’ compensation benefits to cover the costs of medical treatment and time lost at work. These benefits are due to you regardless of who was technically at fault for the accident – you, your employer or a co-worker.

If the accident was caused or contributed to by a third party, other than your employer or someone with your company, you could also file a suit against that party or individual for third-party liability benefits. ​ Se habla español.
