If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident while at work you have the right to bring a Workmen’s Compensation claim against your employer and a third party claim against the negligent operator of the motor vehicle even if the operator is a fellow employee.
If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident and speak freely to an
insurance adjuster about injuries you think you have, without speaking
to a lawyer to advise you of the your rights. You could be at a disadvantage
if you are injured, and that report is brought up to negotiate any claim
for injuries which emerge later.
If an insurance company settles a personal claim within 15 days from
the date of the accident, you may void out the settlement pursuant to
state law provided you pay back the insurance company. Many people don’t
realize they’re injured even when injuries are severe. Therefore,
state law allows for the cancellation of the settlement, if made within
15 days of the accident, and payment is returned.
If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident you have two years to
bring a claim to the courts for injuries against a third party for the
third party’s negligence.
