Were you injured while driving a company vehicle?

If you're involved in an automobile accident while you're on the clock, Attorney David Greene from Greene and Phillips says you should treat it as a normal accident. You should call 911 and get examined by a medical professional.

You'll also need to make your employer aware that you were injured on the job. Workers compensation should pay for your injury, but you should also get compensation from the other drivers insurance company. You have separate cases workman’s comp and 3rd party.

Under worker’s compensation you can be paid 66 ⅔ of your weekly wage while you are recovering. You also will be compensated at the end of your treatment/maximum medical improvement.

Any worker’s compensation claimant can get medicals for life for those injuries. That means if you experience future medical problems from the injuries you sustained from the accident, the worker’s comp insurance will cover those costs.

For worker’s comp it does not matter who's at fault, but for the 3rd party claim it does matter. If you decide to hire a lawyer, you would want to a hire a law firm that can handle both Auto Accident cases and Worker’s Comp cases.
