Was Your Work Injury Caused By A Third Party?

If you were injured on the job in Minnesota, you are likely entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. If your injury was caused by the negligence of a third party (not your employer or a fellow employee), you may be entitled to a significantly greater financial recovery, including claims for pain and suffering.

Common examples of third-party liability accidents include:

  • A car accident in which you are injured by a careless driver while you are driving for work-related purposes
  • A work injury caused by defective equipment, such as a power tool, forklift or crane
  • A scaffold accident in which a separate company was responsible for maintaining the safety of the scaffold
  • Any accident caused by a negligent contractor or subcontractor who is not part of the company you work for

At the Michael Schultz Law Firm, we can help you pursue all avenues of compensation, including workers’ comp and personal injury law, so that you have the resources you need to make it through this difficult time. Minneapolis workers’ compensation lawyer Michael Schultz and our legal team are here to guide you through the process and fight for the best possible outcome for you and your loved ones.
