Auto Accident Compensation

The issue of whether or not injuries sustained off-site are covered by workers’ compensation is often a difficult one to resolve. Generally, if the accident occurs during the execution of job-related tasks, then the injuries sustained and complications arising from them are subject to an employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. Many off-site accidents take the form of automobile crashes. There are many positions that entail a substantial driving component, and it is virtually inevitable that a worker will need to drive or travel as a car’s passenger for some work-related travel.

If you have been hurt in an automobile accident while working, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.

Automobile Accident Injuries

Car crashes and other motor vehicle accidents are extremely dangerous. Even apparently “mild” wrecks can produce significant and lasting injuries. It is very likely that if you are the victim of a work-related automobile accident you will be forced to obtain medical treatment and may be afflicted with an inability or reduced capacity to perform the responsibilities of your job. Medical care and lost wages are both addressed by workers’ compensation benefits, and this is vital because a car or truck accident may result in:

• Neck Injuries
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Brain Injuries
• Severe Lacerations
• Bone Fractures
• Wrongful Death
