Skilled New Jersey Third Party Claims Attorney Pursues Workplace and Personal Injury Third Party Claims On Behalf Of New Jersey Clients

Sometimes, when a person is injured, there is more than one entity to blame for the accident. For example, perhaps you were in a workplace accident and sustained an injury. You file a workers’ compensation claim to recover benefits, including coverage for medical treatment and replacement wages. In New Jersey, if you file a workers’ compensation claim against your employer, in exchange for those benefits, you may not file any additional claims against your employer or other co-workers for damages related to this workplace injury. However, your workplace injury may meet the criteria to file a third party claim against a different entity if that entity’s negligence contributed to or caused your workplace accident.   Determining whether or not your accident claim — whether that is a workers’ compensation claim or a personal injury claim — meets the criteria for a third party claim can be challenging. Let us help. At Blume Forte Fried Zerres & Molinari an experienced and knowledgeable New Jersey third party claims lawyer is ready to guide you through the claims process; the firm’s origins date back to its founding in Newark, New Jersey in 1929.

Top-Rated Accident Attorneys Help Clients Recover Full and Fair Compensation For Their Injuries

When you have been injured at work, the first entity you think of to hold accountable for your injuries is your employer. After all, you were injured while performing your job. But beyond your employer, there may be other entities that also played a role in causing or contributing to your accident. For example, perhaps your employer conducts business with outside vendors. If a vendor’s negligence caused your accident — perhaps by providing faulty equipment — then you may file a third party claim against the vendor to hold them accountable for the damages you sustained.

To file a third party claim, liability must be established and negligence must be proven. And this is not an easy task. But injured victims are protected under the law and at Blume Forte Fried Zerres & Molinari, we are dedicated to fighting for our New Jersey clients who have been harmed in accidents that were caused by negligence.

Understanding Liability In A New Jersey Third Party Claim

When you are injured in an accident and are undergoing medical treatment — and confronting the related costs that go with it — it is understandable that you might question how you can recover compensation for all of the losses you have sustained. A third party claim may be filed against any entity that behaved in a negligent manner that contributed to or resulted in your injury. For example, a third party claim may be filed against the following and more:

  • A third party driver
  • The manufacturer of a defective product
  • The distributor of a defective product
  • A third party operator of machinery
  • A property owner that did not rectify a hazardous condition on the property site
  • The owner of a different company that was also working on the same job location

All accident claims have their own set of circumstances. To understand whether your New Jersey accident may warrant a third party claim, it is best to consult with a skilled New Jersey third party claims attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions About Third-Party Claims In New Jersey

I was injured in a car accident and I want to file a third party claim for damages. Do I have to get a certain number of estimates for the repairs?

No. If you were injured in a car accident and have decided to file a third party claim in New Jersey, you are not legally obligated to receive a certain number of estimates for repairs. That being said, in many cases, it is in fact helpful to receive more than one written estimate for the cost of repairs. Having detailed estimates, which specify the replacement parts needed and the labor required for that repair, will support your claim that the estimates you have received are reasonable and fair.

I was injured at work because my co-worker was horsing around and caused an accident. I filed a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. Can I file a third party claim against my co-worker for their negligent actions, which caused my accident?

If you have already filed a workers’ compensation claim against your employer due to your workplace accident, then you may not file a third party claim against your co-worker, even if their negligent behavior caused your accident. Once you file a workers’ compensation claim, you are then prohibited from filing another claim against your employer or co-worker for damages related to this workplace accident. You may, however, file a third party claim against another entity if that entity was negligent in some manner and that negligence caused your workplace accident. Navigating the third party claims process can be confusing; speak with an experienced New Jersey third party claims attorney at Blume Forte Fried Zerres & Molinari to get prompt answers to your questions.
