Your Legal Options After an On-the-Job Injury in Indianapolis

Most Indiana workers are covered by their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. However, workers’ compensation benefits are limited, which is why workers’ compensation is only the starting point for employees who are hurt on the job in Indianapolis. 

Our attorneys could file a third-party liability claim if a party other than the injured worker’s employer is responsible for the injury. You might be eligible to seek additional forms of compensation through an injury claim, such as pain and suffering. A personal injury attorney with our firm can tell you if you’re eligible to take legal action.

Bringing a Third-Party Claim or Lawsuit to Seek Additional Compensation

After we investigate your case, we may determine that one or more negligent parties could be liable. 

Parties responsible in third-party liability cases include:

• Contractors or subcontractors who are not the injured worker’s employer
• Equipment manufacturers, if a faulty product is involved
• Cargo loading companies
• Vehicle drivers

Safety rules and regulations on job sites are strict. Workplaces must also follow the federal regulations laid down by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), especially construction sites.

One of our workers’ compensation lawyers in Indianapolis may be able to bring a case against a third party whose failure to follow OSHA rules resulted in a worker’s injury. WTTV reporting affirms how often accidents can happen on job sites. Our team can support you if a contractor’s actions led to your injuries.

Recoverable Damages in Third-Party Injury Cases in Indiana

If we file a claim or lawsuit against a negligent party who caused your construction accident, we could help you seek a range of damages. These may include:

Economic Damages for Your Past, Present, and Future Expenses

These may include medical expenses such as:

• Ambulance services
• Emergency room care
• Diagnostic testing
• Surgeries
• Hospitalization
• Physical therapy 
• Medications
• In-home medical care
  

If you face a serious injury such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, or other serious condition, you may require months of ongoing medical care. We can work to include these future expenses in the value of your settlement or award.

You could also seek compensation for income losses such as:

• Missed paychecks
• Missed tips and bonuses
• Missed promotions
• Reduced ability to earn income in the future
• Disability
  

Some workers would have to change jobs in the future if their injuries go on to affect their working ability. Such substantial income losses can have a major effect on your life, and our injury lawyers can consider them in your case.

Non-Economic Losses to Reflect Your Hardships

This may include damages such as:

• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Scarring and disfigurement

These damages don’t have a clear dollar value attached to them, but we can tell you how they can be valued in an injury case. We have experience proving intangible damages such as pain and suffering. Our team will seek the best recovery possible for you.

If You Lost a Loved One to a Wrongful Death Case

We would help you recover damages if you lost a loved one to their worksite injuries. You don’t have to handle an injury case while you grieve your loss.

Through a wrongful death case, we can help you recover compensation for:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical care
• Non-economic damages
