Were You Injured in a Vehicle Accident While on the Job?

Your employer should understand that driving and operating vehicles is very dangerous, even if it’s only for your work. If they do not believe you are in danger on the job because of these responsibilities, then fighting workers’ compensation benefits could be an uphill battle to surmount. With this in mind, it is critical that you protect your safety on the job and if possible avoid driving at all. If you need to drive a vehicle as part of your work duties consider obtaining additional insurance from an employer-sponsored policy or personal auto insurance so there will be sufficient coverage for medical bills and rehabilitation expenses should something happen while operating a motorized device during business hours.

Employees that commonly get injured in work-related collisions include:

• Food delivery staff
• Cab drivers and chauffeurs
• Construction crews (forklifts, cranes, etc.)
• Commercial truck drivers
• Police officers
• Firefighters
