Media Workplace Accident Lawyers

Work Injuries in Media, PA

When people experience injury on the job, they rightfully seek workers' compensation benefits to help them pay bills, provide for their families and get the medical care they need while they are unable to work. However, the workers' comp process is long and complicated. Even when benefits are awarded, they often do not cover the steep costs of medical care or compensate the victim for pain and suffering and other injury-related expenses. When this occurs, most workplace accident victims speak with a Media workers compensation lawyer to explore the possibility of pursuing a third party liability claim to receive fair and just compensation. At Anapol Schwartz, we have a record of success helping clients receive damages in settlements and court awards in third party liability claims. If you have experienced injury on the job and you are struggling to make ends meet, contact our lawyers to schedule a consultation to discuss your case.

What is Third Party Liability?

In legal terms, third party liability refers to injury to a person and/or property due to action, inaction and/or negligence where the injury and/or damage must be remedied. In more general and easy to understand terms, third party liability in workplace accidents refers to someone besides an employer being responsible for an accident that causes injury. Examples of third party liability in a work injury include the following:

• The manufacturer, designer or vendor of a defective tool or equipment
• An injury caused by a contractor or subcontractor on a worksite
• An injury in a vehicular accident that occurred while you were on the job
• A company failing to follow proper safety procedures at a worksite
• An injury caused by a worker employed by another company
• A fire or explosion caused by an outside agency at your jobsite
• Negligence on the part of the property owner
• Many other situations in which another party's negligence caused injury

It is important to note that being injured at work does not give you the right to sue your employer. Those claims are handled through the Pennsylvania workers' compensation claims process. Third party liability refers to a work injury caused somewhere other than your place of employment or by someone not employed by your employer. One of our Media work injury lawyers can explain this very important distinction in more detail.
