Workers’ Compensation Attorney in Indiana
Direct Attorney Access for Indiana Workers’ Compensation & Third-Party Claims
Indiana workers’ compensation may provide medical treatment, rehabilitation, and income benefits when a qualifying job-related injury or illness keeps a worker from doing their job. A claim can arise from a sudden accident, repetitive-use condition, or occupational illness and may involve lost income or disputes about medical care and claim administration.
Workers’ compensation benefits are generally separate from a personal injury claim. However, an injured worker may have a separate claim when a negligent third party, such as a contractor, driver, property owner, or equipment manufacturer, contributed to the injury.
At Alvarez Law Offices, we represent injured people in personal injury matters, including workers’ compensation claims. We have offices in Crown Point and Hammond, IN.
Call our team today at (219) 300-5204 for a free consultation about your workers’ compensation benefits or a possible third-party claim.
Should You File a Personal Injury Claim Against a Third Party?
Many of our clients assume that an injury at work only allows them to seek workers’ compensation benefits. That isn’t always the case. Workers’ compensation can address authorized medical care and wage replacement benefits, while a separate personal injury claim may be available against a third party whose conduct, property, vehicle, or product contributed to the injury. A work compensation attorney in Indiana can review who caused the injury, the evidence available, and whether a separate claim should be considered. Benefit amounts and duration depend on current Indiana rules and the facts of the claim.

When Should You Go Beyond Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
When defective equipment contributes to an injury, the manufacturer or another responsible third party may face a separate personal injury claim outside the worker’s compensation benefits. For instance, in a past case, we obtained a $1,850,000.00 settlement for an injured construction employee. Past results don’t guarantee a similar outcome in another case.
Defective machines and equipment on a worksite aren’t the only reasons a worker may have a third-party claim. Toxic chemical exposure may support a claim against a manufacturer or another responsible party when the substance contributed to illness or injury.
Evidence can include:
- Incident reports
- Equipment records
- Product information
- Photographs
- Witness accounts
- Medical records
- Documentation of chemical exposure
The viability of a third-party claim depends on who caused the injury and the available proof.
Our lawyers can explain available workers’ compensation benefits, medical-care concerns, wage loss, denials, and whether a third-party claim may be relevant. You pay no fees unless we win, and we offer free virtual consultations.
We treat clients like family by keeping them informed and staying accessible throughout the case. Clients can receive direct access to an attorney’s personal cell phone, and our support staff of more than 30 people can help with case questions. Hablamos español.
We’re proud supporters of unions. Walter Alvarez and our attorneys have fought for the rights of union members injured at work. As trial lawyers, we prepare cases for the possibility of trial while working to pursue the compensation available under the facts of each claim.
