Third-Party Liability Claims

Experienced Third-Party Liability Suits Attorneys

Serving Albany, Troy, Saratoga Springs and Schenectady Areas

Have you been injured in a work accident? Has a boss or co-worker told you that workers’ compensation is your only legal remedy? You may have received inaccurate information.

If you have been injured in a work accident that was caused by a dangerous product or a third party (someone other than your employer or co-worker), you might be entitled to additional compensation through a product defect liability or third-party liability claim. Both types of personal injury claims can provide compensation in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits.

To learn more about your options, contact an attorney at E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy today. Our attorneys offer experienced representation in product liability and third-party liability claims.

What Are Third-Party Liability Claims?

While workers’ compensation claims provide wage benefits and medical benefits, they do not offer compensation for pain and suffering. Personal injury claims, by contrast, do provide compensation for pain and suffering.

One type of personal injury claim that may arise in the context of a work injury is a third-party liability claim. If your work injury was caused by a third party — someone other than your boss or a co-worker — you may be able to pursue compensation through a third-party liability claim. You likely have a third-party claim if you were injured on a construction site or in a car accident.

Since our attorneys have experience in a variety of personal injury claims, including third-party liability and product liability claims, we are highly adept at identifying alternate sources of compensation that may be available to you.

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
