Hurt on job not employer's site (off-site) ? YUP!

First I direct you to my other blogs on workers' compensation, in general. Next I offer below three of the many situations that can occur:

1. Your working, doing as roofing job, for your employer ABC Company.  However, XYZ Company lends you a ladder that has a loose rung. Up you go to the  roof, but on the way down-- you fall (because the loose rung collapsed).

2. Your working delivering pizzas; an angry driver (you stop for all red lights) tries to pass you-- on the right-- and strikes your employer's vehicle.

3. Your working at McDonald's and slip in the bathroom-- because a cleaning company failed to wipe up a greasy stuff-- left by a cleaning detergent.

These are all workers' compensation cases; however, they have a new element-- that we call this new element a THIRD party case.  These are tricky cases. Yes, you need a lawyer to handle these cases.  How much you get in your pocket depends on using the VELCRO school of law concept (give notice to them all and file suits against all).  In general, in CT you have two years from the date of accident in which to file a lawsuit.
