How Car Wreck Victims Get Help With A Sedalia Lawyer When Filing Workmans Compensation Claims

By Eve Briner


A car accident will cause physical injuries, a car you cannot drive and a fragile emotional state. Unless you need emergency medical care, remain at the scene of the crash and wait for police to get there. Next, set up an appointment with a Sedalia Workers Compensation attorney.

First discover what rights you have for workers rectification insurance. Discuss the details of the situation during your first meeting. Bring all relevant paperwork with you related to those details.

You need not hire the first lawyer you meet with. Most offer a free consultation to discuss your options. If you are not comfortable with an attorney it may impede your case.

Your first legal advice may be not to discuss your case with anyone. The driver who was at fault will be likely to hire an attorney. That lawyer, or his insurance company, may contact you. Never sign anything without your lawyers approval.

Usually you have to be driving for your boss to be eligible for workmans remuneration. You must be delivering goods or running an errand for your employer. If you are a truck driver or your actual job is traveling on the road you may not have an office. You are still covered.

Some employees are paid for travel time driving to and from work. They are eligible. Situations exist where you may file for both workmans compensation and a civil case. Your attorney will advise you on that topic.

Recovery in the civil case is significantly different. In that type of case pain and suffering are covered. In workmans indemnity they are not. The civil suit covers property damage.

The workmans compensation insurance does not require a finding of guilt against the other driver. One other detail is that you must file your claim within a brief period of time, sometimes as little as twenty four hours.
