Columbia Workers' Compensation Attorney
In a workers' compensation claim, injured employees can recover compensation for their injury through their employer's insurance carrier. Many times, however, an on-the-job accident might have actually been caused by someone who is not an employee. In these situations, it is wise to contact a skilled Lexington third party claims attorney.
At J. Bradley Baker, LLC, we have represented clients injured in a wide range of accidents while at the workplace. It is important to get a lawyer involved as soon as possible in the process to ensure your rights are protected. We will diligently fight to defend your best interests while pursuing maximum compensation for your injuries and lost wages.
A third party claim results from a situation where you got hurt on the job at the hands of someone who is not directly an employee of your company. Often, construction workers are hurt in accidents caused by a third party. Large department store employees can be hurt when delivery drivers are making deliveries. It is also possible for factory workers to be injured when a machine they are working on malfunctions. The manufacturer of that piece of machinery, in some circumstances, can be considered a third party.
When handling a third party claim, there is a different set of paperwork to complete and timelines to follow. Additionally, the workers' compensation claim must be completed before the third party claim. There are several details that your lawyer can pay special attention to while working with the insurance company to ensure your maximum compensation. Trust our firm to fight on your behalf all through the process.
