Your question does not provide many details regarding the nature of the negligence or the injury, so a specific answer is impossible. In general, the answer is yes, she would have a claim against the negligent third-party. If the injury occurred in Florida, the time limit for filing a lawsuit is four years from the date of the injury.

You only have a claim against the third party if they are not co-employees. Not enough facts to assist you in evaluating. Seek some legal guidance. Attorneys who handle w/c and PI claims do so on a contingency basis and most don't charge for the initial consultation.
