What rights do I have if I was in a car accident while working?

This is an exact transcription of the video above.

Well you actually have a lot of rights if there’s a car accident while you’re working. In fact you have 3 separate claims that you need to make and some of them you need to make quickly. First claim that you have to make, you need to make it quickly is a no fault claim and that may help pay some of your lost of salary. The second claim that you have to make is the workers compensation claim.

The no fault claim and the workers compensation claim may overlapped some but it’s possible to get actually some amount of payment from both so it is important to make both of those claims. And you’re absolutely gonna want a lawyer to help with both of it. And thirdly you have the right to actually bring a personal insuring lawsuit for the physical injuries you suffered from that car accident.

So not only do you have the basic rights of a normal person if you are in a car accident but if you are working you have different additional rights and additional things that you need to do so it’s very important that you consult an attorney and move that process along early and fast.
