Will a Personal Injury Claim Increase Your Total Compensation?
Whether you were driving as an integral part of your job or just doing a work errand when you had an auto accident, you are likely entitled to workers' compensation. If your accident was caused by another driver's negligence, you may also have a third-party personal injury claim.
Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to maximize your overall recovery by pursuing both personal injury and workers' compensation claims.
If the driver responsible for your accident is uninsured or does not have enough insurance to cover your injuries, you may also have a claim against your employer's uninsured and underinsured motorist policy, even if you were driving your own car for work purposes.
Our firm does not handle workers' compensation claims. However, our experienced trial lawyers are fully prepared to pursue any personal injury or insurance claims you may have. Don't hesitate to contact us today to discuss your work vehicle accident case.
