Video Transcription:
Sometimes when a worker is injured at work there is also a personal injury claim. These personal injury claims are called third party claims. That is where the first party is the injured worker, the second party is the employer, and a third party is the tortfeasor who injured the injured worker. A classic example of when this might arise is an outside worker who's driving from one employment location to another, and while they're driving the Budweiser truck or some other negligent driver comes along and smashes into them. The injured worker then has both a Labor & Industries claim and a claim against the Budweiser guy. That guy was driving drunk. He owes me $1,000,000. If you get paid on your third party case, the Department of Labor & Industries then will have lien rights against your recovery. The circumstances are very technical and are very difficult to navigate. If you have one of these cases, the Department of Labor & Industries will require you to obtain an attorney in order that their rights will be covered in their lean interests. If you've been injured in a third party claim, don't waste your time. You're going to be getting an attorney no matter what so just go ahead and call Washington Law Center's experienced trial attorneys today.
