Corpus Christi Third-Party Liability Claims

The Third Party Liability Law and Third Party Injury

Under workers’ compensation law, you cannot sue your employer. If, however, a third party caused your accident, then you may be able to file a third-party liability lawsuit.

You as the injured person are the first party. Your employer is the second party. Who is the third party?

A third party could be the driver of another vehicle that hit you in an accident if you were driving a vehicle in the scope of employment. A third party could be a subcontractor whose negligence led to an accident on construction site. If a piece of defective machinery harmed a worker, the manufacturer of that machinery could be considered a third party.
