Can you sue anyone than your employer for a workers' compensation accident?

If your injury was caused by the negligence of a third party other than another person who is also an employee of the company for which you work, you may have a right to sue that party. If you sue and receive a dollar award, your employer may have a right to recover some or all of the cost expended in your workers’ compensation claim. This is known as a subrogation lien. It often occurs when your workers' compensation claim is also an auto accident.  The lien would only be recoverable after you had been fully compensated for your loss resulting from your on-the-job injury. It can be a complex negotiation so you should hire an attorney who is knowledgable in subrogation matters.
