Whether you were driving as an integral part of your job or just doing a work errand when you had an 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.
