Government workers are tasked with different duties they must perform to the best of their ability in order for service provision to the general public to occur in a manner that is efficient and timely. They form a vital part of the government and without them, everything would come at a standstill. Government workers are usually chosen via a rigorous vetting process where only the best candidates get these opportunities given the sensitive nature of these positions and their potential to handle sensitive information that may require top secret clearance.

However, what happens when these employees get injured by third parties such as contractors, manufacturers, property owners and the like? It is important to note before we continue that despite the fact that the government possesses immunity from litigation in the event of an injury sustained by one of its workers, third parties are fair game and one can recover a substantial amount of compensation that will enable them to rebuild their lives when done right.

That said, these potential cases are never straightforward or simple, as legal concepts such as duty of care, breach, causation and the presence of damages must all be accounted for in order to have a valid claim. These cases are further complicated by the existence of federal or local regulations which touch on workplace safety, making the whole affair convoluted and understandably overwhelming for individuals who sustain injuries while working for the government.

It is therefore imperative that you work with a law firm that has handled injured government worker claims so you are provided with a simple explanation on the strategies used to win these claims as well as the importance of medical documentation and evidence preservation, and we’re here to help you with this and so much more.

Third Parties Who May Be Liable for Government Worker Injuries

Here are some of the potential third parties that may be liable for the injuries of a government worker:

Contractors

These are typically engaged for specific projects such as the maintenance of construction, or repairing infrastructure. They are asked to adhere to safety standards and local building codes in order to ensure the safety of all workers concerned. They can be held liable for injuries if they fail to maintain safe conditions, don’t provide workers with adequate safety training, or do not comply with safety regulations.

Engineers

These professionals are vital when it comes to the designing of safe structures that meet all safety standards, as well as conducting regular inspections to ensure construction goes on in line with design specifications. They may be held liable if their designs are found to be inherently unsafe leading to injuries, or if they do not inspect their projects to ensure they are in line with approved plans resulting in government worker injury.

Manufacturers

These entities provide the equipment and materials used in various government projects. As part of their responsibilities, they must ensure that their products or materials adhere to industry standards, and that their items must have both safety warnings and clear usage instructions.

Manufacturers may be held liable for government worker injuries if their equipment is found to be defective, or if they fail to warn government workers of the risks associated with using their products, or even if they fail to issue a timely recall on a defective product supplied to the government which then causes a rash of injuries.
