Oklahoma City Attorneys Handling Third Party Claims

Workers' compensation benefits are provided for anyone who is injured while on the job. If your injury is eligible, you will receive medical care and a portion of your lost wages. However, you will not be fully compensated for your financial losses or for your pain and suffering. Pursuing a third party claim may be the only answer for achieving a fair financial recovery.

At the Office of Joseph J. Reinke, in Oklahoma City, we help injured workers recover the compensation to which they are entitled. Our dedicated personal injury and workers' compensation lawyers have the experience and knowledge needed to pursue all options for compensation, including third party claims.

What is a Third Party Claim?

A third party claim is a lawsuit that holds someone, in addition to your employer, responsible for your workplace accident. Unlike, a workers' compensation claim, a third party claim enables individuals to full reimbursement and compensation for pain and suffering. It also provides an opportunity for you to see the physician of your choice rather than one mandated by the worker's compensation process.

When is a Third Party Claim Applicable?

Determining who is ultimately responsible for your workplace accident can be a complex matter. Our attorneys will carefully examine what took place, seeking to identify both the cause and any liable parties. Common examples of third party claims include:

• Injuries in a car accident, truck accident or pedestrian accident caused by a negligent driver during the course of your work
• Injuries in a construction accident caused by another contractor during the course of your work
• Injuries resulting from the use of a defective or faulty product during the course of your work
• Injuries from a slip and fall accident caused by improper maintenance during the course of your work
