Workers’ compensation covers your lost wages and medical bills in the event of a workplace accident, but what about the rest of your damages? Going through an injury is traumatic –physically, mentally,
and emotionally. What about your pain and suffering? That’s where a personalinjury claim against a third-party comes in to play.
At Galanti, Patti, & Winterscheidt, P.C. in East Alton, our attorneys are here to help you maximize your benefits and compensation after a work-related accident. Our practice is dedicated to helping loyal, hardworking employees just like you.
Sometimes it’s all in the name. A third party personal injury claim is a personal injury lawsuit brought against a negligent third party. For example, a worker injured in a car accident while working could bring a suit against a negligent driver in addition to pursuing workers’ compensation benefits through their employer.
Additional examples of potentially liable third parties include the manufacturers of dangerous or defective equipment, subcontractors, and negligent workers who do not work for the same company as you.
It will cost you nothing to find out if you have a viable personal injury claim against a third party. We offer a free initial consultation and handle all injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means we don’t get paid unless you collect compensation. Contact us today to schedule a consultation. We proudly serve injured workers throughout Metro East, southern and central Illinois.
