You’re a delivery driver for a flower shop. You are on your way to your last stop. You stop at a stop light and a few seconds later suddenly, you feel a large push from behind your vehicle. You have just been rear-ended. Your first few thoughts are “Am I okay?” “Is the other driver okay?” “I need to call the police.” You go to the hospital and finally come to wondering how you are going to pay for all your medical care.
Do I Have To Only Go Through Worker’s Compensation Coverage?
You call your employer the next day and let them know you have been in an accident. They tell you that you should go through the company’s worker’s compensation insurance. But, is that your only recourse for covering medical costs and retaining compensation? The short answer, No. Of course, an attorney would have to evaluate your claim, but it is likely that you will be able to pursue a personal injury claim as well against the at-fault party’s insurance.
Can I File Both A Worker’s Compensation Claim and A Personal Injury Claim?
Each case is different, and the facts of each claim have to be examined, but yes, it is possible. This is especially true when the other party is at-fault and you pursue a 3rd party claim against them. It is best to contact a qualified and experienced personal injury attorney in order to discover what your options are.
