Oakland Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Oakland Third Party Liability Attorney
When someone is hurt at work they typically qualify for workers' compensation to help pay for medical treatment and other expenses. However, if someone's injuries are the result of neglect or the careless actions of another, they may also be able to pursue what's known as a third party liability claim for additional financial compensation.
If you drive a company vehicle and get in a car accident, a faulty auto part causes your work vehicle to crash, or negligence on a job site results in a slip and fall, personal injury attorney David G. Smith can help you seek compensation through a third party liability lawsuit.

We also represent families of victims in fatal workplace accidents caused by third-party negligence. We work with workers compensation lawyers every day. We understand how to effectively ensure your third party liability claim includes all aspects of your injury including temporary or permanent disabilities, treatment expenses, out-of-pocket costs, and pain and suffering.
Repaying Workers Compensation Insurers
If you receive workers' compensation for an injury, and you then collect compensation in a third party liability claim, workers' compensation insurers have the right to seek reimbursement for expenses they paid to you. They do this by establishing a lien against your third party award. We handle any secondary negotiations, with these insurers to protect your rights and interests and to maximize the bottom line amount of money you receive.
Third party cases are complex matters, but we have the knowledge, skills and background to successfully handle them. From avoiding early settlements until full damage is known, to dealing with insurance concerns while you focus on full recovery, we are ready to make a difference for you and your family.
