Work-Related Car Accidents

When you’re injured in a car accident while performing job duties, you may be entitled to both workers’ compensation benefits and compensation from the at-fault driver. At Bourne Law Firm, we specialize in handling these complex cases that involve multiple areas of law.

Dual Recovery Potential

A work-related car accident presents a unique opportunity for dual recovery:

1. Workers’ Compensation Benefits: These cover medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and disability benefits, regardless of who caused the accident.

2. Third-Party Claim: If another driver was at fault, you can pursue a personal injury claim against them for damages not covered by workers’ comp, including full lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

When is a Car Accident Work-Related?

A car accident is typically considered work-related when:

• You were driving as part of your regular job duties
• You were running a work errand or delivery
• You were traveling between job sites
• You were transporting another employee for work purposes
• You were attending a required work function

However, regular commuting to and from work is generally not covered, with certain exceptions.

Our Approach

Our attorneys will:

• Investigate thoroughly: Gather evidence from both the accident scene and your workplace
• Coordinate benefits: Ensure your workers’ compensation claim is properly filed while simultaneously pursuing any valid third-party claims
• Maximize recovery: Strategically navigate both systems to ensure you receive all compensation you’re entitled to
• Handle subrogation issues: Manage any reimbursement claims from your employer’s workers’ compensation insurer
