Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers | November 12, 2020 | Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you’ve been injured while driving a car for work (or as a passenger), you may be wondering, “What happens if I get into a car accident while on the job?”
In this article, our experienced work injury and car accident lawyers will discuss your legal options following a car accident while on the job, as well as how you can protect your rights for a potential workers’ compensation claim.
“I was injured in a car accident while on the job. What can I do?”
If you were injured in a car accident while working, you have several options. The first is to file a workers’ compensation claim. In North Carolina, workers’ comp benefits are generally available to those who work for a company with three or more full-time employees.
Workers’ compensation after a car accident can help pay expensive medical bills, make up for lost wages, and help you regain your quality of life. If you’re injured in a car accident while on the job, you may qualify for a claim.
It’s important to contact an experienced work injury lawyer immediately after being injured in a car accident while on the job. Your attorney can review your claim and advise you on your best legal options for seeking benefits. In many cases, the insurance company and even your employer will seek to avoid paying a claim if possible, and an experienced attorney can help pursue the benefits you need and deserve.
