Workers that are injured on the job typically pursue workers’ compensation to secure financial compensation for their injuries. This compensation is paid through their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance policy. However, there are cases where workers can pursue parties other than their employers for compensation. This is when the accident that caused their injuries was a result of the negligence of a third party. Some common examples of third-party claims that may arise as a result of work-related accidents include: 

  • Motor vehicle accidents Employees can claim compensation for injuries suffered in an accident that was caused by a reckless or negligent driver 
  • Premises liability claims Workers can make claims against owners of properties with unsafe conditions that resulted in an accident. For example, workers can sue a client if they were injured on the client’s property as a result of hazardous conditions on the property. 
  • Product liability claims Workers can recover compensation for injuries resulting from the use of defective products. For example, a worker can sue a manufacturer for an injury sustained while using a defective piece of equipment on the job. 
  • Negligence claims – Workers can pursue compensation for the negligence of independent contractors that caused their injuries. For example, an injured construction worker may pursue compensation from the company that constructed scaffolding that was worn out and caused their injury

Does receiving compensation in a third-party claim have an impact on my workers’ compensation benefits?

Yes. You can continue to receive workers’ compensation benefits even when you receive compensation in a third-party claim against a negligent party. However, it is important to note that the law in New Jersey does not allow you to recover twice for the same injury. If your settlement for your third-party claim is larger than what you recovered as workers’ compensation benefits, you will be required to repay the workers’ compensation benefits. However, if your third-party settlement is lower than your workers’ compensation benefits, workers’ compensation will only pay for the difference between the settlement amount and the total workers’ compensation benefit to which you were entitled to. 

It is therefore important to consult with an experienced New Jersey third-party claim lawyer when seeking compensation for work-related injuries. The attorneys at Garber Law, P.C. will advise you on the best approach to take when pursuing compensation. We will help you maximize your compensation.
