A serious workplace injury case often extends past basic workers' compensation insurance. We look beyond your employer to hold reckless subcontractors, site managers, or property owners accountable for dangerous working conditions.
Severe industrial accidents shatter regular routines, leaving behind medical debts, lost wages, and uncertain futures. Our team acts immediately to pull safety records, identify design defects, and capture crucial evidence before it vanishes.
Murray Legal Group prepares every complex industrial and construction injury claim with strict litigation discipline. We build the case from day one with the thorough evidence required to face massive corporate defense panels at trial.
Navigating a third-party lawsuit alongside a workers’ comp claim requires a precise strategic approach. Here is how we build your case.
We evaluate your accident, protect your immediate rights, and determine if an outside party shares liability for your injury.
We lock down jobsite records, secure video logs, and interview witnesses before corporate defense teams can control the narrative.
We coordinate with your active workers' comp claim to protect your weekly checks while building your separate personal injury suit.
We bring in medical experts to calculate the lifetime financial, physical, and emotional impact your jobsite injury has left behind.
We take the fight to the courtroom, presenting your case to a jury if the defense refuses to offer a full and fair settlement.
In most cases, Illinois law prevents you from suing your direct employer outside of the workers’ compensation system. However, you can file a separate personal injury lawsuit against negligent “third parties” such as general contractors, equipment suppliers, or building owners who contributed to the danger.
Workers’ comp provides basic medical coverage and partial wage replacement regardless of fault, but it completely excludes pain, suffering, and emotional trauma. A third-party workplace injury lawsuit allows you to pursue complete financial recovery for those non-economic damages.
If your injury was caused by a malfunctioning tool, un-guarded saw, or heavy machinery defect, you have a strong product liability claim against the manufacturer. This stands completely separate from your employer’s standard insurance coverage.
Report the accident to your direct employer immediately, and write down which other subcontractors or companies were working near you. Because multi employer sites have complex safety rules, we start an independent investigation right away to pinpoint exactly who caused the hazard.
Yes. Receiving workers’ comp benefits does not stop you from filing a separate third-party lawsuit. While workers’ comp only covers your basic medical bills and partial wages, a third-party lawsuit is what allows you to recover full compensation for your pain and suffering.
In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, because critical evidence like jobsite safety logs, video footage, and witness memories can disappear quickly, it is best to involve an attorney immediately.
