According to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, there were a total of 3.3 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses reported in private industry workplaces during 2009. While overall rates of workplace injuries are decreasing, these statistics still paint a stark picture in that they correlate to a rate of 3.6 cases of workplace illness or injury per 100 equivalent full-time workers. That means that approximately one in every 28 workers in the United States suffered some sort of injury or illness in the workplace for that calendar year alone.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics also recorded 4,340 workplace fatalities in the United States for the year 2009. The construction industry accounted for the highest percentage of fatalities at nearly 20 percent, followed by transportation and warehousing industry fatalities comprising over 13 percent of all fatal accidents in the U.S. for 2009. Next in overall highest percentage was the combined industries of agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting, with 12.7 percent of total fatal accidents in the private sector.

What do all of these statistics bear out? That the workplace can be dangerous for employees, particularly in industries such as construction and transportation. Complex state, and sometimes federal, laws and regulations apply to the specific area of workplace injuries, more so than many other areas of personal injury law. Large companies have insurance carriers backing them, and insurance companies have teams of workplace injury attorneys whose job is to limit their clients' liability as much as possible.

In order to fight for the compensation you are entitled to due to an on-the-job injury, you need an attorney who can expertly navigate this field law on your behalf. In particular, you will also need advice as to any additional remedies you may be entitled to pursue. One such possible remedy can arise if you were injured on the job by someone other than your employer. In a situation like this, you may have what is known as a third-party work injury claim.

An example of a third-party worker injury claim might arise in the following scenario. Say a person is employed to make deliveries for Company A. During the normal course of business, as the person is making delivery rounds, he or she sustains an injury when hit by another vehicle. The injured worker would potentially have a claim against the at-fault driver. If the negligent driver was acting in the scope of his or her employment with Company B at the time of the accident, the person who was injured on the job would also have a third-party claim against Company B.
