Third Party Negligence
In the unfortunate event, that one of these dangers caused you an injury, the state of Washington bars workers from suing their employers. When it comes to injury, employers are repaid through a worker’s compensation program. Even though these laws are in place, someone who has suffered an injury can seek justice against a third party whose negligence might have been instrumental in causing their pain and suffering.
A potential third-party defendant might be:
- Sub-contractors
- Architects
- Property owners
- Manufacturers of malfunctioning equipment.
- General contractors
Depending on your individual circumstance and the laws surrounding your particular case, you might have the right to seek legal action against these third-party entities.
