After a work-related car accident, your options for getting compensation might broaden. You can probably file a workers’ compensation claim through your employer, which can cover your medical costs and a portion of your missing wages if you cannot work for a while. You can also file an auto accident claim against the driver who hit you.
Importantly, you cannot be paid twice for the same damage if you have two separate claims. For example, if your medical costs are completely covered by workers’ compensation, then you can’t also get paid through your personal injury claim for those same costs. It's possible that this distinction could cause the auto insurance company and the workers’ compensation company to fight one another over which owes you for what damage. You should not have to worry because that conflict is up to them to solve, but our Savannah car accident lawyers can ensure that you are fairly compensated at the end of things, regardless of which company foots the bill.
