Work Place Injuries

As most everyone knows, in Florida, employers are generally required to maintain workers’ compensation insurance to meet the medical expenses of an individual injured on the job. What is not so well known is that should the injury result from the negligent actions of a third party, as opposed to a fellow employee, in addition to receiving workers’ compensation benefits, the injured victim is also permitted to make a claim against the negligent third party. This most often occurs in the case of an automobile accident when the victim is on the job while driving and is involved in a motor vehicle collision with a negligent driver. In such a case the employee is permitted to pursue a claim against the negligent driver.
