Can I file a third-party injury claim in addition to a workers’ compensation claim in North Carolina?
In North Carolina, you can pursue a third-party injury claim if someone other than your employer is responsible for the accident. For example, if a defective piece of equipment caused your injury, you may be able to sue the manufacturer. This is in addition to the workers’ compensation benefits you may seek to pursue. Filing a third-party claim can potentially lead to additional compensation for your injuries, especially if your workers’ compensation benefits are insufficient to cover your losses.
