Subrogation Claims
Jeffrey S. Gross, Attorney at Law — Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
When someone is injured at work by the negligence of something or someone other than his or her employer or a co-worker – the injured worker can file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits and can also file a claim to recover damages from the negligent party in a separate claim, which includes pain and suffering.
If the injured worker has received workers’ compensation benefits and the injured worker goes on to obtain a recovery (either a settlement or award at trial) from the negligent third party, the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company can make a subrogation claim against any 3rd party award or settlement the worker receives. This means that the employer and/or workers’ compensation insurance carrier can seek reimbursement for the workers’ compensation benefits they have paid out on the employee’s behalf.
