Vehicle Injuries on the Job

Vehicle Injuries on the Job – Understanding Your Rights

In Wisconsin, employees who experience job-related injuries can seek care and compensation through the state’s workers’ compensation insurance system. Employers are obligated to provide these benefits, regardless of fault. If an injury involves a third-party’s negligence, the injured worker may have both a workers’ compensation claim and a potential claim against the negligent third party.

Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim for Job-Related Vehicle Accidents In Wisconsin

Wisconsin workers’ compensation covers injuries from vehicle accidents that occur during work-related activities. This includes tasks like delivering goods, commuting to job sites, running errands, transporting colleagues or clients, and more. After a vehicle accident, the injured worker should inform the employer, file a workers’ compensation claim, and receive medical care and wage replacement benefits through the system.

Pursuing a Third-Party Vehicle Accident Claim in Wisconsin. What You Need to Know

In addition to a workers’ compensation claim, individuals involved in vehicle accidents might have grounds for a third-party claim. This is a legal action against the responsible party, outside the workers’ compensation framework. Such a claim can seek compensation for:

Medical expenses
Lost wages
Future medical costs
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Loss of enjoyment

Benefits of Third-Party Claims and Considerations. For Your Information

Third-party personal injury claims can yield larger compensation than workers’ compensation, particularly for serious injuries. It’s important to note that if a third-party claim succeeds, Wisconsin workers’ compensation may seek reimbursement for the medical costs and wage replacement it provided.

I have retained Dahlberg O’Meara Law Group, LLC on two separate occasions. They are very professional, knowledgeable, affordable, & always kept me informed every step of the way. I not only felt like a client, but they made me feel like a friend. I will not hesitate in the future to obtain Dahlberg O’Meara Law again for my legal needs! Thank you Attorney Paul Santilli & most recently Attorney Steve Eichstaedt!
