Third Party Lawsuits from Work Accidents
Many times, especially in industrial accidents, an entity other than your employer may bear responsibility for your injuries — manufacturers of defective equipment, companies that rent or service machinery, property owners, or subcontractors or project managers at a job site.
A Representative Case
Lee Hoffoss represented an employee of a casing pipe contractor, who was struck in the leg by a pipe weighing in excess of 5,000 pounds dropped from a forklift operated by another company. The impact caused a fracture in the lower leg, which resulted in chronic leg swelling. Mr. Hoffoss secured a settlement of $800,000.00 for his medical bills and pain and suffering.
