Know What a Workplace Injury Lawsuit Entails in Pittsburgh, PA
The employer does not need to be the negligent party for you to receive money. A workplace injury lawsuit is a legal action an employee takes when injured on the job due to a third party or manufacturer. These cases often arise from situations like construction site falls, machinery accidents, or exposure to hazardous materials.
Exploring Third-Party Claims in Workplace Injury Cases
Injuries caused by a third party, such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer, can open the door to additional claims. For example, if a machine malfunctions due to a design flaw, the injured worker may pursue a lawsuit against the manufacturer. These claims can significantly increase the potential compensation.
Proving Third Party or Manufacturer Negligence in a Workplace Injury Lawsuit
The injured worker must prove negligence to win a lawsuit against a third party or manufacturer. This involves showing the third party/manufacturer failed to:
- Provide a safe working environment
- Address known hazards
- Follow mandatory safety protocols
Examples include construction falls due to missing safety harnesses or injuries from poorly maintained equipment.
Factors That Impact Compensation in Workplace Injury Lawsuits
Key factors affecting settlements include the severity of the injury, the degree of third party negligence, and the nature of the harm (physical or psychological). Severe injuries or cases involving intentional harm often lead to higher settlements. Emotional distress caused by workplace trauma, harassment, or extreme stress can also form the basis of a claim.
