St. Paul Third Party Liability Attorney

When you are injured, you have numerous concerns, one of which is how to pay your medical bills and other expenses related to your injury. Nelson Law Office seeks out any and all sources of compensation for our clients.

The workers' compensation system is intended to simplify the process of paying your bills, but it prevents you from suing your employer. Aside from complications in getting paid, the amount available to you may not be enough.

Obtaining Adequate Payments

A third party claim is not precluded by the work comp system. "Third party" refers to someone other than your employer, who is responsible for your injuries. You are the "first" party, your employer is the "second" party, and anyone else is a "third" party. This is in addition to your workers' compensation benefits.

In personal injury litigation, you are entitled to claim your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and sometimes other expenses. These all should be considered in your third party claim.

Examples of third party liability include:

• An employee of another contractor on the job site
• A driver delivering materials to the job site
• The property owner who failed to warn of a dangerous condition
• The manufacturer of a defective machine or product
• The driver of another vehicle that strikes your car
