What is a Third Party Work Injury Case?

The Exclusive Remedy Doctrine...or... You Can’t Sue Your Employer

The general rule is that you cannot bring a civil lawsuit against your employer for injuries occurring while you are in the course and scope of their employment. Instead, the general rule is worker's compensation benefits are your exclusive remedy against the employer. This is called the “Exclusive Remedy” doctrine.

Exceptions to the exclusive remedy doctrine are discussed in other articles on this website.

Why is a Third Party Case important to me?

Generally, California workers’ compensation benefits are some of the lowest in the United States. When you are seriously injured at work, you have a much better chance of getting a fair result if you bring a third party work injury case. A third party case can help your family’s future. If you have a serious work injury, you need to investigate whether you have a viable third party work injury case.

Second Party Cases

When you sue your employer, these cases are called "second-party cases." We have other articles on this website about second party cases. Examples of second party cases are: sexual harassment, intentional injuries, Jones Act Seaman lawsuits, etc.

Third Party Cases

If someone else is legally responsible for your injuries, then you can pursue civil remedies against this other person and/or entity. Any person/entity other than your employer that is legally responsible for your damages is termed a third-party. Generally, a workers' compensation recovery does not preclude your civil suit against the third-party.

Your civil lawsuit against persons/entities other than your employer is termed a "third-party case" or a “third-party work injury case.”

The Program - Defining the Terms

First Party

You /Injured Worker

Second Party

Your Employer

Third Party

Any person/entity whom is legally responsible for your/the injured worker's injuries.
