Re: what kind of case would it be?

If there is a third party in addition to your employer involved in your injury, you have a worker's compensation case against your employer and a third party civil lawsuit against the third party. For example, if you were involved in a car accident while at work and the other driver is at fault, you have a worker's compensation case against your employer and a third party civil lawsuit against the other driver. call us at 213.388.7070 if you need representation.

Re: what kind of case would it be?

Any bodily injury case that is related to one's employment is a WC case in which you go against your employer's workers' compensation insurance company for certain benefits. If the injury was caused by some one from a different company or a piece of faulty equipment manufactured from another. Remember you have to fill out the first report of work form; to sue someone else, you must do so within 2 years
