CAN I SUE SOMEONE OTHER THAN MY EMPLOYER FOR A WORK INJURY?

Can I Sue Someone Other Than My Employer For A Work Injury? 

If a work injury is caused by the negligence or fault of a third party, then an injured worker would have the right to sue that individual or business. A third party could be anyone other than the injured worker’s employer or fellow employees.

At Skibiel Law, our lawyers have successfully recovered both workers’ compensation benefits and compensation for damages in personal injury claims for clients injured on the job by a third party. Attorney Mark A. Skibiel offers a free initial consultation to thoroughly investigate all facts in your case to help you with your workers’ compensation claim and to determine whether you have a third-party personal injury claim. Call at 770-872-4329 or toll-free at 877-874-6650 to schedule a consultation at our Jonesboro or Atlanta office. We serve clients in the Metro Atlanta area and throughout Georgia.

When Can I Sue A Third Party?

Some examples of cases that we’ve handled involving both workers’ compensation and personal injury claims are as follows:

  • Motor vehicle accidents for employees whose job requires driving
  • Job accidents involving negligently designed equipment
  • Construction accidents caused by the employees of other employers at the jobsite

Client Testimonials

Mark was very knowledgeable and kept me informed with my case. He wasn’t intimidated with the large law firm. I know for a fact that without his expertise and diligent work ethic my settlement wouldn’t have reached the amount it did. He worked far beyond what I expected, meeting with the company doctor, therapist, and insurance representatives. HAVE A TALK WITH HIM ITS FREE!!!!!

Mark takes the time to get to know you as a person, not just as a case. He’s an attorney you can trust to keep you informed on every aspect of the case. I received all info about the case as soon as he did, and Mark carefully answered every question that I asked. I would recommend Mark to anyone who is in need of an honest attorney.

When my adjuster refused to pay for lost wages and for prescriptions, I felt the need to hire an attorney. After a brief consultation, I hired Mark. Within days, I saw results in my case. Everything that happened in my case went exactly as he told me it would happen in our initial consultation. When we went to the hearing, it seemed very one-sided and we won “hands down.” From start to finish, my case lasted less than nine months. My lost wages were recovered, and a sizeable settlement as well. Kudos Mark.

Mark explained, in detail, how the law would apply to my case and assured me it would take some time for me to accomplish my goal. During my case Mark and his staff kept my wife and me informed and updated. Every time my wife or I called Mark’s office we were able to get a response from either him or his staff. When we settled my case, it was more than I ever expected. Mark and his staff were professional in handling my claim. My experience with Mark and his office was wonderful!
