Third Party Accident Claims

Have you been injured at work?

If you have, you are not alone. Every day, thousands of people suffer from work-related injuries. Most of these injuries are covered by workers' compensation.

A third party injury is caused by the workplace negligence of someone other than your employer.

Call Whitfield & Cox today to speak with an aggressive workplace injury or death settlement lawyer. We can start you down the road to recovery.

Third Party Accidents

Types of third party claims lawsuits we handle include

• Coal mining accidents
• Uneven sidewalks and other unsafe conditions
• Product liability. This includes unsafe products like faulty machinery, faulty safety guards, and other defective products.
• Wrongful death

In many of our coal mining accident injury cases, we could not sue the actual employer. In a lot of coal mining accidents, there is usually some other cause of injury or death. We have brought successful third party liability lawsuits against

• Independent contractors
• Owners of premises

Coal mining is a hazardous occupation. Independent contractors, safety equipment manufacturers and other third parties know precisely who is counting on them to be safe and conscientious.
