Workers in California factories, wineries and other types of industrial facilities are protected by laws requiring employers and equipment manufacturers to provide the highest levels of safety for their employees. If a worker gets injured because of a defective piece of manufacturing equipment or dangerous working conditions on the assembly line, California workers' compensation benefits are generally available. In cases of negligence on the part of the manufacturer of the defective equipment, the injured worker may also pursue additional compensation beyond workers' compensation benefits
What is a third-party claim?
Injured workers who can show that a property owner's, manufacturer's or contractor's negligence resulted in the accident and injuries may sue for damages. These are known as 'third-party' lawsuits because they do not typically involve suing the employer.
