Workplace injuries involve Workers’ Compensation. But sometimes they also involve what are known as third-party claims, which are claims against responsible companies or organizations that are not your employer or coworker. In one situation, we were able to help a group of individuals who were involved in a workplace explosion, a gas explosion that resulted in multiple serious injuries. And it’s a very complicated area of the law. And recovery and coordination between the Workers’ Compensation claims and the recovery from the at-fault organization makes it very important that an experienced attorney is involved and able to guide the injured people through that process.

Rochester, MN personal injury lawyer Paul Dahlberg talks about a memorable case where he was able to help a group of people injured in a gas explosion at their workplace. He explains that workplace injuries often fall under the purview of Workers’ Compensation. However, there are instances where additional claims, known as third-party claims, can be pursued against responsible companies or organizations that are not your employer or coworker. We encountered such a scenario when assisting a group of individuals affected by a workplace gas explosion that resulted in severe injuries. Navigating this area of the law can be intricate, especially when it comes to coordinating Workers’ Compensation claims with the pursuit of compensation from the liable party. Having an experienced attorney by your side is crucial to guide injured individuals through this complex process and ensure their rights are protected.
