Colorado Third Party Worker’s Compensation Claims
When is a third party worker’s compensation claim appropriate?
When an employee is injured during the course and scope of employment by the negligence or wrong of another who is not the direct employer or a co-employee. The injured employee may receive workers’ compensation benefits and also pursue a third party claim against the at-fault party.
For example, if an employee is injured in a car accident while working, the employee may receive workers’ compensation benefits and also, along with the workers’ compensation carrier, bring an action against the at-fault driver.
