Yes. While workers' compensation may provide benefits through your employer, there are situations where an injured construction worker may also have a separate third-party claim.

Examples can include injuries caused by:

• Negligent subcontractors
• Defective machinery or equipment
• Unsafe property conditions
• Product defects involving tools or construction materials

A third-party claim may allow an injured worker to pursue damages that workers' compensation does not provide, including pain and suffering and other losses. Construction accidents are often complex because multiple companies and contractors may be involved. A thorough investigation can help identify every available source of recovery.
