Workers’ Compensation With Third-Party Liability in Phoenix, AZ

Did Someone Else Cause Your Work Injury?

Hurt in a car accident while working? Were you injured at a job site by someone else's negligence? Were you injured in a construction accident by someone who worked for a different company?

If you were injured while working, you may have two claims: a workers’ compensation claim against your employer, and a personal injury claim against the person who caused your injuries. If your injuries were caused by a co-employee, you can typically only make a worker’s compensation claim. However, if the person who caused your injuries was not a co-employee, you likely have two viable claims. If this is the case, you need an accident lawyer experienced in both workers’ compensation and personal injury law. This area of accident law is also known as workers’ compensation with third-party liability in Phoenix, AZ.

If you have a workers' compensation with third-party liability in Phoenix, AZ, Harris Injury Law, PLLC can make the workers' compensation insurance company pay your medical bills and wage loss immediately, so you don't have to worry about needing health insurance or a loan to survive. If your claim warrants such, you may be entitled to monthly payments and medical care for the injury for life.

If your work injury occurred while in a car accident, Harris Injury Law has a plethora of options for you. We can look at two settlements, one with the car insurance and another with the workers' compensation insurance company. The car insurance companies are typically responsible for the full amount of your medical bills, regardless of whether workers' compensation paid the bills. When workers' compensation pays for your medical bills, they may have a right of reimbursement from any car accident or personal injury settlement. The right of reimbursement is called subrogation.
