Third-Party Injuries

An example of a third-party case follows. The facts of this case are that a man on the job was injured in a car accident which was not his fault. His employer informed him that their workers’ comp was not for that type of case, which is exactly wrong. The man had no health insurance but had lost feeling and grip strength in both hands. This would indicate that he has a herniated disk in his neck and needs to see some type of doctor who can fix that. That is what workers’ compensation is for. You can’t settle a case like this without making sure your client gets the medical care that they need. When they have workers’ compensation to pay for that medical care it becomes very possible to do that.
