If someone is injured in the workplace, workers’ compensation will generally apply as a no-fault compensation system, meaning there is no need to prove wrongdoing. However, there may be other sources of compensation available through third-party litigation. For instance, while the injury may have occurred at work, the equipment involved might have been maintained by a third-party vendor, or perhaps another company is responsible for maintenance, cleaning, or inspection of the area. It’s important to involve an attorney even in a workers’ compensation claim to examine these other potential sources of liability and maximize recovery.
