Seeking Justice Beyond Workers’ Compensation
Workplace injuries can be devastating, impacting your health, livelihood and future. Filing for workers’ compensation is often the next step after a workplace injury, but there may be additional methods of securing compensation if a third party is liable for your injuries. With the help of a skilled Michigan personal injury team, you can seek the full compensation you deserve.
At Vahdat Weisman Law, our firm frequently handles cases involving construction injuries and other industries that have suffered due to third-party negligence. Whether you are a construction worker injured by another subcontractor’s equipment or an employee hurt by defective machinery, we are here to help.
Understanding Third-Party Liability In Work Injuries
Filing a workers’ compensation claim usually bars you from suing your employer for injury compensation, but you are still free to seek compensation through a third-party claim. Third-party claims happen when a non-employer party is responsible for your injury. For instance, on a construction site, multiple subcontractors and vendors may be present. If you are injured due to the negligence of another subcontractor, you may have a third-party liability claim.
We are proud to represent clients through complex third-party claims to help them pursue the results they deserve after an accident. Our injury lawyers meticulously investigate each case to identify all liable parties, and our goal is to ensure you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries. We have extensive experience handling complex cases involving construction accidents, industrial mishaps and other workplace incidents caused by third parties.

While you cannot sue your employer after your workers’ compensation claim, you still have options to recover from your injuries.
