3rd Party Job Accidents

Oklahoma 3rd Party Accident Attorney

When a person is injured on the job, he or she often thinks that the only legal recourse is to file for workers' compensation. However, many injured individuals have the ability to pursue a personal injury claim against the 3rd party that may have caused or played a significant role in the injury.

We at the office of R. Brad Bolles, P.C. can help you understand your rights and whether your workplace injury may qualify as a 3rd party claim. Our firm has over 17 years of experience handling personal injury cases, and can effectively explain the process of seeking compensation for your injuries.

In some cases, another person is at fault for the accident that caused your on-the-job injury. An example of this is a third person who causes a car accident while you are driving a company vehicle. One specific aspect of this type of case is that the individual who is at fault cannot be a co-worker or you have no 3rd party claim. Other 3rd party cases often involve injuries inflicted or caused by a defective machinery or products. We can take action against the company that manufactured the machine or product.

If you are injured while working on a job site with other contractors who are not employed by the owner of the site, and your injuries were caused by the other contractors, you may also be able to pursue a 3rd party claim.

• In addition to a 3rd party claim, you may still be able to seek workers' compensation. Though our firm does not handle workers' compensation cases, we can refer you to an attorney who can help you with those issues.
