In some special situations, you may also be able to file a lawsuit in addition to your workers’ compensation claim. If your employer acted recklessly or created an unsafe condition that caused your injury, you may be eligible to a file a lawsuit. If you were injured due to defective equipment, machinery, or tools necessary to do your job, third parties may be held liable for your injuries. The lawyers at the Mark Law firm have handled cases similar to these situations for workers throughout Essex County and are ready to handle your claim.
