Look beyond
workers’ compensation.
A workplace injury may involve more than a workers’ compensation claim. Workers’ compensation benefits are limited by law. If someone other than your employer contributed to your injury, such as a property owner, general contractor, driver, or equipment manufacturer, you may also have a separate civil claim.
That claim may provide compensation for losses workers’ compensation does not cover, including pain and suffering.
What is a third-party claim?
A third-party claim is a personal injury claim against another person or business that may be responsible for your injury. An accident can happen at work and still support a personal injury case.
Where you were injured is only part of the picture. We also examine how the accident happened, the parties involved, and the legal duties that may apply.
One firm for related claims.
At Blanco & Arias, we handle workers’ compensation and related civil claims together. We examine every workplace injury for additional sources of recovery, including claims against third parties and, when supported by the facts and law, separate claims against the employer.
This coordinated approach helps us pursue the full compensation available to you. We also address how the claims affect one another, including any reimbursement claims or liens that may apply.
