What are third party claims?

When it comes to work-related accidents, determining who is truly at fault is not always black and white. For instance, if you are running a work-related errand and get hit by a distracted driver, you could be looking at two possible claims to compensation: a workers’ compensation claim and a third party claim.



In this scenario, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits because, really, you would never have been involved in the car accident if you hadn’t been fulfilling your job duties. Likewise, you can file a third party personal injury claim against the driver who caused the actual accident.

  • Fill out a Loss of Wages Claim if you lost pay due to your recovery.
