Re: third party lawsuit???
You have not expressly stated facts indicating that you are in Louisiana, and many people use the wrong categories. If you are in Louisiana, I would respond, generally, that third party liability is not the norm, e.g., it cannot be used simply because you are not satisfied with the benefits of workmen's compensation. A third-party tortfeasor must have done something (or possibility failed to do something he/she/it was obligated to do) which was constitutes negligence. Your facts lack sufficient detail for someone to give as knowing and intelligent a response as you should receive.
To that end, I would advise you that your best option is to speak with an attorney who practices worker's comp and personal injury in the jurisdiction/venue where the suit would be filed. And remember that TV lawyer does not mean best lawyer. These consultations are free of charge in most if not all cases. In fact, most PI lawyers are excited at the possibility of getting a new case and are happy to evaluate your case free of charge.
Best of luck to you.
