How a Tampa Work Injury Lawyer Can Help

When a third party's negligence causes an on-the-job injury, you may have a claim beyond workers' compensation. We find every source of recovery.

Workers' compensation is not always your only remedy. When someone other than your employer — a negligent contractor, a property owner, a manufacturer of defective equipment — caused or contributed to your on-the-job injury, you may have a separate 'third-party' claim that reaches damages workers' comp does not, including full pain and suffering.

We examine how the injury happened and who was involved, coordinate with any workers' compensation benefits you are receiving, and pursue the additional recovery a third-party claim can provide.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• ✓Past and future medical expenses
• ✓Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• ✓Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• ✓Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
