Message: [QUOTE="SouthBayHusky, post: 3981045, member: 6201"] I agree with the others, you want to explore not only the workers comp claim, but evaluate separately the viability of a third-party liability claim, since a third party liability claim typically enables greater recovery than a workers comp case alone. And you may be able to pursue both. That way, you could receive work comp benefits for your child now without delay, and later if there is a third-party liability recovery that may be greater than the Worker’s Comp benefits, you can recover the third-party claim and pay off the Worker’s Compensation benefits thru that case as a lien. And you can probably get the Worker’s Compensation benefits negotiated so the ultimate recovery larger. But, definitely explore both options make make sure both attorneys are aware so they can best act in your child’s interests. I hope everything works out for your child in the end. [/QUOTE]
