What is a third party lawsuit in a construction accident case?
A third party lawsuit involves suing other parties who contribute to your injuries at a construction site other than your employer. Typical parties who may contribute to a construction site injury include the property owner, contractors and sub-contractors, equipment suppliers, manufacturers or installers, engineers, architects, coworkers, virtually anyone who may be involved in performing work on the construction site. A third party construction accident lawsuit allows for the full range of personal injury damages which typically provides far greater compensation than just a workers’ compensation claim against one’s employer.
