Workplace Injury Third-Party Claims in Texas
If you’ve been injured on the job in Texas, you may think your only option is a claim against your employer, either through a workers’ compensation case or a non-subscriber claim.
Frequently, however, someone other than your employer may be legally responsible for your injuries. That’s where a third-party claim comes in—and it can significantly increase your recovery.
At Cronauer Law's office in Austin, we help injured workers across Texas pursue maximum compensation by identifying and holding all responsible parties accountable.
What is a third-party workplace injury claim?
A third-party claim arises when someone other than your employer contributed to your workplace injury. While claims against your employer usually limit what you can recover, a third-party lawsuit allows you to pursue full damages, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Full lost wages and future earnings
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Disability and disfigurement
- Loss of quality of life
Common Third-Party Claims
We handle a wide range of workplace injury claims involving third-party negligence, including:
Construction Site Accidents
Construction zones often involve multiple companies and contractors. You may have a claim against:
- Subcontractors
- Equipment providers
- Property owners
Defective Equipment & Products
If faulty machinery or tools caused your injury, you may have a product liability claim against:
- Manufacturers
- Distributors
- Designers
Vehicle & Transportation Accidents
If you were injured while driving for work, you may be able to file a claim against:
- Negligent drivers
- Trucking companies
- Commercial vehicle operators
Oilfield & Industrial Accidents
