Do You Have a Third-Party Claim?

Following an injury at the Shell Puget Sound Refinery, it is important to understand the cause of the accident and what employers or companies played a role in the accident. In general, an injured worker cannot sue their employer for injuries on-the-job and is limited to workers’ compensation. However, an injured worker may bring a claim for compensation beyond a workers’ compensation claim if the injury or death of the worker was caused by another employer or the employees of another employer. As a result, on a multiple employer job site like the Shell Puget Sound Refinery, it is important to retain experienced injury attorneys that have brought third-party cases before and understand the complexities of third-party claim.

What Compensation is Available in Third-Party Cases?

In a third-party case, an injured worker may bring a claim for damages for lost wages, medical expenses, pain, suffering, disability, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and other damages depending on the specific circumstances of the injury. Every case is different, but the amount of compensation that an injured worker can collect in a third-party case often exceeds what is available with workers’ compensation alone.
