Bergen County Third-Party Claims Attorneys

Under workers' compensation law, you cannot sue your employer. If a third party caused your accident, then you may be able to file a third-party liability lawsuit.

At the law firm of Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C., our attorneys handle New York and New Jersey workers' compensation claims, but can also handle third-party claims against negligent parties. If you are successful in a third-party claim, the amount of settlement or verdict will likely be greater than a workers' compensation claim, since it may include pain and suffering.

Rockland County Third-Party Claims Lawyers

There are many types of work-related accidents that could become third-party liability claims:

Scaffold failure due to negligent installation or construction
A car or truck accident during the course of employment that was the fault of the other driver
Faulty wiring that resulted in a fire or explosion
Negligent security
Slip and fall accident on the job
Contractor or subcontractor negligence

You can collect both workers' compensation and a settlement from a third party. However, the proceeds from any successful third-party liability claim would be used, in part, to pay back workers' compensation benefits.

Bergen County Third-Party Liability Attorneys

Workers' compensation is an important benefit, but when third-party liability can be proven, it is important to pursue compensation for all available methods. Contact our firm at 800-660-7843 for a free consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer.

Testimonials

Dear Paul: After our initial meeting, I knew I had made the right choice in choosing you to represent me. The other attorneys I had met with just did not have what I was looking for - - strength, enthusiasm, concern. I felt that you cared what happened to me and really wanted to help me get out of the mess I put myself into. For the first time in years, I felt positive about recovering my money. - CHRIS
Dear Paul: I can't thank you enough for all the help you've given me. You have been very patient, thoughtful and understanding. You are a great lawyer and a true friend. Thank you. - DAWN
Dear Paul: I do think of you often and I did want you to know how much I appreciate the legal help you gave me. Without your help, I wouldn't have received any settlement at all. The money I receive every month has made it possible for me to do things I otherwise would not have had a chance at. It means a lot to me and I thank you for your help and patience. - NANCY
Dear Paul: You know me and you can understand when I say it's never been easy for me to take direction from someone else. But from the day I learned that I was the client and you were the lawyer everything fell into place - - just as you predicted! - MARTY
Dear Paul: I want to thank you for your good counsel and your friendship in the matter of my divorce. I'm especially grateful for the moments you've spent on the phone with me since our business was concluded, and I always value your advice. - BERNIE
Dear Paul: As you can understand, it was very emotional for me and became extremely frustrating, once the witness "lost her memory". But you fixed it. You were certainly masterful at trial, far superior to your adversary. - HOWARD
Dear Paul: Thanks. You went all out and the results were outstanding. - THOMAS
Dear Paul: You have helped me though a very difficult time in my life with your confident, expert guidance and professionalism You analyzed the situations, understood my frustration and most importantly, believed in me.

Dear Paul: Thanks for all of your help and support through this very trying time in my life. - VALERIE
Dear Paul: Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review my career plans with you. I know that you have a limited amount of time and appreciate the amount of time you spent advising me. Few experienced attorneys are willing to pass along what they have learned. - DAVID

Dear Paul: Once again, Thank You for all your patience and understanding through these last few difficult months. Seldom do we meet professionals these days who leave us feeling that they do care. Thanks again. - BOB
Dear Paul: The rest of my life was on the line... and I needed a home run. But it had to be a tape measure job. Something so spectacular that it would change the whole momentum of the game. We knew the victory would be small at best... but it would mean a great deal. With a great deal of hard work, dedication, creative thinking, caring, coupled with an impressive flair for negotiating and presenting my case, you managed to do it! - KAREN
