Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.

I met Josh like 4 years ago when my Son was injured at Daycare. He was very concerned about the well being of my Child and Me. Very Understanding Professional and Just a great Staff. If You need a Lawyer that’s all about YOU this is the Place. I just closed a Case on 6/23/2021 from a injury on a Property. They handled everything because no one else would help Me. I’m forever grateful for Your hard Work and Time. Once again Thank You Josh and Sally.

My husband was referred to this law firm from another lawyer after his mother passed away while residing in a nursing home. Matt took on his case and we are pleased with how everything turned out. It took a long, long time to finally settle, but it was worth the wait. The staff here is friendly and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I was referred to Harold by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier. He took the time to listen to my case, answered all my questions and truly treated me like a friend not a client. His knowledge of medical malpractice is priceless he actually successfully won, one of the first medical malpractice cases in Greenville County.

Third Party Settlements in Cases of Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation is a required insurance system for all employers, unless you own a business in Texas. At Christian & Christian Law in Greenville SC, we understand the importance of fighting for what you’re owed in the workers’ comp system, but what happens when a third party is involved in your injury on the job? Let our personal injury attorneys help you through the workers’ comp process involving third-party settlements.
Third-Party Liability in Greenville, SC
It’s not uncommon for employers to have multiple businesses in the same building or job site at once, which typically increases the chance of a third-party injury. Did your pipe break and you need a team of plumbers on site to fix it? Are electricians at your workplace installing circuit breaker panels? Though employers are exempt from facing lawsuits, unless in cases of gross negligence, third parties can be sued if they were at fault involving a workplace injury.
Say you work for a construction company, and you hire excavators to come in to help dig out a new house foundation. The excavation company brought their dump truck and their employee backed into your work truck while you were getting your tools. Because of the collision, you ended up breaking your arm and getting a concussion, so you need to take time away from work. In cases like this, you are now eligible to collect workers’ compensation from your employer and you can sue the excavation company for other personal injuries. While you would need to sue the excavation company under a personal injury lawsuit , you can collect your insurance money from your employer under workers’ compensation laws.
You may also be able to sue for personal injury and collect workers’ compensation from your employer due to product defects, which may not necessarily include another company’s employees, but could include a company’s product. In one simple example, say your employer ordered new standing chairs for their employees, but the chairs were defective. The chair legs broke, and you crashed to the ground, breaking your tailbone. Your company later found out that the chairs had a recall. You could now collect workers’ compensation for your injury and potentially collect a third-party settlement from the manufacturing company for selling defective chairs.
