Arizona residents who are injured in an accident may choose to pursue compensation for their injury and related losses from the insurance company of the at-fault driver. Employees injured in a car accident while at work can seek compensation for their injuries by filing for workers’ compensation benefits in addition to seeking compensation from the at-fault party. So the question is: What are the options available for someone injured in a car accident while on-the-job?
To receive fair and full compensation for a work-related car accident, the injured victim would be well-advised to speak with a skilled personal injury attorney, who can help injured workers understand all of their options. In many cases, it is in the best interest of the injured worker to file for Arizona workers’ compensation benefits in addition to filing a claim against the at-fault driver.
Workers’ compensation claims are often disputed and they often only cover a portion of your losses. For example, if you have to miss extended periods of time from work because of an injury, workers’ compensation benefits will only partly cover your lost wages. A personal injury claim may be able to cover the remaining balance of your losses. Pursuing multiple forms of compensation may be the only way to truly cover all the costs of a serious work-related injury.
