Often times while working on the clock, someone is injured by another party. This situation can arise in an automobile accident, construction accident, product liability accident, premises accident, or medical malpratice claim for instance. In these situations, while you may be eligible for worker's compensation benefits, you may be entitled to even more compensation if the third party is liable for your accident or injuries. Claims in these circumstances can be confusing.
Deciding who is responsible for paying what is always a big concern. Furthermore, worker's compensation can claim subrogation rights to and file liens on any third party recovery. Under Idaho law these employer's rights can be affected by the employers own liability. While this article may not provide many answers if you have been invovled in this type of situation, hopefully it will give you an idea of what you may need to think about and an understanding that you do have rights. In later articles I will address specific concerns in more detail. In the meantime, feel free to contact for a free consultation to discuss any of these issues.
