3rd Party Injuries Specialist

What are 3rd party injuries?

Work-related injuries and injuries following car accidents are no-fault injuries, meaning no one needs to prove fault in order for you to get the care you need.

However, in some situations, injuries may result from the negligence of a third party. For example, your injury may be due to a faulty design in the equipment you used to perform your job that resulted in the accident. Or the result of a drunk driver while you were delivering items for your job.

Workers’ compensation provides partial coverage for lost wages and medical bills but may not be enough to cover all your expenses. With 3rd party injuries, the injured person can ask the court for additional compensation related to their injury.

However, unlike workers’ compensation and personal injuries, you must prove fault to claim a 3rd party injury.

Illinois Spine and Scoliosis Center provides comprehensive care for workers’ compensation injuries, including accurate diagnosis and careful evaluation to determine the cause of the injury. 

If you or your worker has a 3rd party injury claim, Illinois Spine and Scoliosis Center may be able to help.
