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.

If you are not comfortable with the first lawyer you meet, look for another one. You can usually get a free consultation. If you do not connect well with your lawyer, it can have a deleterious effect on your case.

Do not talk about your case with anyone but the lawyer. The opposing driver is going to hire an attorney too. Questions may be asked by that lawyer or an insurance company. Sign nothing without your attorneys 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.

You are eligible if paid for driving time spent getting to work and back home. In some circumstances you can file for workmans reparation and file a civil suit. Your attorney can explain how and why.

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.
