New Haven Third-Party Claims Attorneys
Under Connecticut law, bringing a claim for workers’ compensation benefits typically prevents you from suing your employer for damages after a work-related injury — even if the injury was caused by your employer’s negligence. In some cases, however, another party may have contributed to your injuries. At Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante, we will review your work injury to determine if it may be appropriate to file a claim against a third-party in New Haven.
Examples of third parties that may be found liable include:
- A motorist who causes an accident while you are running an errand for your employer
- The manufacturer or distributor of dangerous equipment
- Someone not employed by your employer who engages in negligent conduct
- The owner of dangerous property that results in a slip-and-fall, dog bite or other premises liability accident
Before proceeding with any legal action, be it a workers’ compensation claim, a personal injury lawsuit against your employer or a third-party claim, it is important that you understand its significance for your legal rights and long-term welfare.
