Complete Workers' Compensation and Workplace Injury Attorney
In some instances, the same work-related injury will also result in what is referred to as a "3rd party" — where the "3rd party" is someone other than the employer. For example, if you are injured in a car accident while on company time, the accident results in both a work comp claim and a claim against the driver of the other car.
Another example would be where you undergo surgery for a work-related injury and then become victim of medical malpractice. And there are still other instances where the work related injury is so flagrant and extreme, that Missouri Courts will also allow you to pursue the work-related injury in civil court. In such instances, we can recommend and refer you to experienced and skilled personal injury ("tort") lawyers and we will work closely with them while your workers compensation case is progressing.
At the law office of John R. Stanley, LLC in Overland Park, we represent all workers who have been injured on the job or in a work related capacity. We help you explore every option for recovering the benefits and compensation you and your family will need. Whether you have suffered as a result of a car accident on company time, medical malpractice or a flagrant and egregious work injury, we can help you.
Taking on 3rd Party Claims
Third party claims get their name because your work-related injury is not directly related the wrongdoing of you or your employer. It is caused by a third person, someone who usually isn't an employee at work, but whose negligence causes you injury in the course of employment.
In Missouri and Kansas, we counsel clients who have been injured by a third party and need to seek additional compensation. These kinds of cases can include:
- Car and truck accidents
- Construction accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Product liability or safety violations
We work with delivery drivers who have been involved in car accidents, injured workers who suffer additional injury because of physician or hospital malpractice and individuals who are hurt or maimed by defective industrial machines. Our clients come from diverse backgrounds, and in every case we put our proven record, our experience and our commitment to client satisfaction to work for people when they need help the most.
