California | Workers Comp
Legal Question
Dog Bite At Work
I was bit by a dog while on a coffee break during my scheduled shift at work. I worked for company A and was at company B which is next door. Both companies are operated by one parent company. The dog belonged to an employee of company B and our employers were aware of the dog being there and of his dangerous propensities. Is this strictly a workers comp. case or can third party liability be involved by the dog owner and his employer. My former employer is claiming since there is a parent company involved that it is strictly a workers comp. case and that since the employee of company B also worked for them that I cant even claim third party liability against him (the dog owner). Can the employer of company B, be held responsible for third party liability as well?
