Workers’ Compensation versus Third-Party Construction Accident Claims

If you were injured while working on a Spokane construction site, you generally have two legal options: a workers’ compensation claim or a third-party lawsuit. Workers’ comp provides medical coverage and other benefits for employees injured on the job, regardless of fault. However, the injured worker cannot pursue a lawsuit against their employer.

Third-party claims allow workers to pursue action against negligent entities or individuals who caused the accident. These parties may include:

• General contractors who failed to maintain safety standards
• Subcontractors whose negligence led to unsafe conditions
• Equipment manufacturers who produced defective machinery
• Property owners who created or allowed hazardous conditions
• Architects or engineers who designed unsafe structures

Non-workers injured by construction activities may also pursue third-party claims. Pedestrians struck by falling debris, motorists injured by construction vehicles, or nearby residents affected by negligent construction practices can seek compensation against the at-fault parties.
