Oklahoma Blog: Workers Compensation and Benefits

Third party workers' comp cases refer to a personal injury case against a person or company who is at fault when there is also a workers’ compensation claim filed against an employer.  In other words, if you are injured on the job as a result of a third party’s carelessness or mistake, you may be able to receive compensation on a third party claim in addition to receiving workers’ compensation.

Injuries covered by workers' compensation include:

• Back injury
• Traumatic brain injury
• Slip and Fall injury
• Burn injury
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Lung disorders, allergies, headaches or cancer from long term exposure to toxins

A third party claim must be filed within two years of the date of the accident.

For a third party claim, our personal injury lawyers at Atkins and Markoff will file a claim against the third party in question in a civil court on your behalf. You could receive lost wages, medical expenses, pain/suffering, and/or loss of future earning.

If you live in Oklahoma and have questions about third party workers’ compensation contact our personal injury lawyers at the law offices of Atkins and Markoff today.
