Work-related auto accidents can fall into some complicated and confusing areas of the law and if you don’t have an experienced attorney on your side you could miss out on the compensation you need. Whether you are entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits, compensation for driver negligence, or both, the insurance companies will do everything in their power to avoid paying you. That’s where our Cumberland work accident attorneys come in.
Workers’ Compensation for Auto Accidents
If you were working at the time of your accident, in Maryland you are entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits. If you were commuting, you probably aren’t, but there are some exceptions. For instance:
- Running a work-related errand on your way to or from work
- Accidents that happen on your work premises, such as the parking lot, before or after you clock in
- Accidents that occur in a company car during your commute
- Special hazards you must brave during your commute
Our Cumberland work accident attorneys can help you determine if your accident was covered by Workers’ Compensation and help you prove that you are entitled to benefits, even if the insurance company doesn’t want to pay.
Auto Accident Lawsuits
Whether Workers’ Compensation applies to your work-related auto accident or not, we can still help you recover full and fair compensation for your work-related auto accident. This includes accidents caused by:
- Negligent drivers
- Defective vehicles
- Defective roadways
In many cases it is necessary to file both a Workers’ Compensation claim and an auto accident lawsuit. Please, do not hesitate to call our Cumberland work accident attorneys and schedule your free consultation so that you do not miss out on the compensation that you are entitled to receive.
