Our Firm: Third-Party Cases


Gavel In addition to your Workers’ Compensation claim, a third-party case may be brought against a company or entity that shares responsibility for your injury.

Third-party cases are frequently overlooked as a means of obtaining just compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, property damage, loss of future earning capacity and loss of normal life.

The trial lawyers of Horwitz, Horwitz and Associates are committed to the pursuit of third-party cases on behalf of their clients when warranted, with a history of record-setting jury verdicts.

When a young and inexperienced worker fell 30 feet suffering multiple acute fractures, a third-party lawsuit was filed against the general contractor for not ensuring that proper safety precautions had been installed under union contract guidelines – in this case, fall protection by means of a safety line. Our client received 1.3 million dollars in compensation for his injuries.
