In cases where there is workers’ compensation, there can be still be a claim if we can show that a “third-party” caused the injury. Workers’ compensation prevents an injured worker from making a claim against their employer but if someone other than the employer caused the accident they can be liable. For example, if someone is driving for work and is hit by another driver, the employer of the injured party cannot be responsible, but a claim can be made against the other driver who causes the accident.
