When several parties are working on a construction project, determining fault in an accident can be challenging. For instance, if an employee is injured on the job, the injuries are typically covered by workers' compensation insurance. However, if another party is working at the site, the employee may bring a civil litigation action against them, which in turn could prompt that party to bring a lawsuit against the employer. On the other hand, if the third party is responsible for the accident, the employer and/or their insurer may file a workers' compensation subrogation claim to recover monies paid to the injured employee.
