Determining Responsibility

Generally, employees who file for workers' compensation are not entitled to file suits against their employees for additional injuries such as pain and suffering. There may be exceptions to this rule, such as cases of employers who are grossly negligent or even malicious, but this is often difficult to demonstrate in court.

If a third party was involved in the injury, however, that party may be found partially responsible. For example, a third party can be responsible for a workplace injury if:

• The injured employee was on the third party’s property as part of his or her job, and the property was not safely maintained
• The injured employee was using a defective product produced by the third party
• An employee of the third party was partially or fully responsible for the injuries
