Liability in a Workplace Car Accident<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In regular car accidents, the first step is determining who is liable or at fault for the accident. This is determined by who was behaving negligently. For example, if someone was driving under the influence of alcohol when they struck your vehicle, then they were behaving negligently and will be considered at fault for your accident. That liability rule does not change if you were working at the time of the accident. If a third party was responsible for your accident while you were on the clock, all that it means is that you will be able to sue that driver while collecting worker\u2019s compensation.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Worker\u2019s Compensation Claims & Personal Injury Lawsuits<\/p>

In a Worker\u2019s Compensation (W.C.) claim, there is not compensation for \u201cpain and suffering\u201d as such.\u00a0 But you should receive all needed medical care free of charge and economic compensation for your time away from work and any Permanent Disability from the W.C. Ins. Co.\u00a0 However, if you are injured by a third party, someone other than your employer, you have the option of suing the responsible party for pain and suffering and other losses.\u00a0<\/p>

You are limited to economic compensation related to your medical expenses and your time away from work. However, if you are injured by a third party in an accident while working, you have the option of suing the responsible party for pain and suffering. This is a good way to maximize the amount of compensation you receive, considering your accident’s conditions. Our attorneys are experienced in handling these cases and will work hard to secure every bit of damage compensation you deserve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
