You May Be Entitled To More Than Just Workers Compensation

We always consider the actionsof third-parties when our clients are hurt at work. This means that we investigate whether the injury occurred as the result of the negligence or carelessness of someone other than your employer or co-worker. For instance, if you are driving a truck and another driver runs a stop sign and hits you, causing severe and permanent personal injuries, you may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits and to sue the at-fault driver in a separate action to obtain full financial compensation for the pain, suffering and economic loss you suffered.  Such an action can result in asettlement or verdictwell in excessof what you would receive from workers’ compensation.

The Workers’ Compensation Lawyers at Miller & Borgen are always analyzing ‘on-the-job’ injuries to determine whether or not there could be potential monetary recoveries against a negligent defendant not protected by workers’ compensation laws.
