The Importance of Third-Party Claims in Glendale, Arizona Construction Accidents
Arizona construction site accidents can result in devastating injuries or even death. Dangerous worksites, defective machines, loose scaffolding, inexperienced co-workers and negligent supervisors may all contribute to accidents that caused serious injury. If you are injured while at work, it is important that you understand your rights and the legal options available to you.
Arizona workers’ compensation benefits exist to provide assistance to injured workers and their families. However, these benefits are woefully inadequate, particularly in cases where the worker has been catastrophically injured or killed. In such cases, workers’ compensation benefits may not be adequate to cover the full cost of treatment or loss of wages. In such cases, an injured worker would be well-advised to contact an experienced attorney to discuss a potential third-party claim.
What are third-party claims? Depending upon the circumstances of the case, a third-party may be held liable for the resulting damages of a worksite accident in Arizona. For example, if a construction worker is injured by defective power tool, the manufacturer of the tool may be held liable for the damages the faulty tool caused. An experienced Arizona construction accident lawyer will review the details surrounding an accident to assess liability. Compensation may be available for medical expenses, time away from work and even physical pain and emotional distress.
