Brooklyn Work-Related Car Accident Lawyer

Work-related car accidents can happen at any given moment. The nature of your job does not affect your chances. Whether you are driving from one job site to another, commuting to work, or driving a taxi, you are at risk of being injured.

If you are ever injured in an accident while driving for work, you are likely entitled to recover workers’ compensation. However, to optimize your chances of securing what you may potentially be owed, it is wise to seek representation from a qualified Brooklyn work-related car accident lawyer. Our experts at Shulman & Hill will help you pursue a reasonable amount of compensation and they can be your best source of legal advice.

Brooklyn Work-Related Car Accidents: What You Need to Know

It is important to exercise caution when driving in a busy area like Brooklyn. There are more car accidents in Brooklyn than in any other New York City borough.

Unfortunately, even if you are a responsible driver and follow all safety guidelines, it is still possible to be involved in a car accident resulting from someone else’s negligence.

Other drivers on the road are not the only ones who may put you in a dangerous situation. You could potentially be injured in a Brooklyn work-related car accident if your vehicle’s manufacturer overlooked an important defect, or if you encountered hazardous conditions due to poor road maintenance.

Potential Consequences of Brooklyn Work-Related Car Accidents

The losses you may face if you are injured in a car accident can be both financial and non-financial. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may require medical assistance or hospitalization. If your injuries do require treatment, there will be medical bills. Additionally, you may be advised to refrain from working while you recover physically. This means that you may not be able to receive your usual paycheck.

You might also struggle with mental or emotional trauma, anxiety, and stress, all of which require additional time to process and heal from.

You may be entitled to compensation for all of your losses. Hiring a personal injury law firm in Brooklyn can improve your chances of recovering a fair payout.

How to Seek Compensation After a Brooklyn Work-Related Car Accident

If you are hurt in a Brooklyn work-related car accident, you can seek compensation for your losses by filing a workers’ compensation claim. In New York, an employer is normally required to have insurance to compensate employees who are injured on the job.

Be aware that filing a claim may not lead to an immediate payout. The following are key reasons you are more likely to collect what you may be owed if you enlist the help of a work-related car accidents law firm in Brooklyn:

Proving Your Claim is Valid

Insurance companies may try to look for reasons to avoid paying claimants. A workers’ compensation claim can only be valid if your accident genuinely occurred when you were on the job. Insurers may also argue that an employee intentionally caused the accident in hopes of a payout.

To ensure your claim is approved, you need to present sufficient evidence showing your accident was truly work-related. A skilled workers’ compensation lawyer in Brooklyn can help you do so.

Differences Between Workers’ Compensation and a Personal Injury Lawsuit

You can file a workers’ compensation claim to potentially cover lost wages and past and future medical bills. We will account for all your losses when pursuing compensation on your behalf.

If your accident resulted from another party’s negligence, you may seek additional compensation by filing a claim against their insurance. You simply need to know who the negligent party is in order to do so. This is another reason coordinating with a personal injury law firm in Brooklyn may help your case. Our investigation will identify all parties that may be responsible for compensating you.

Negotiating

If an insurer is unable to deny your claim, they may still attempt to pay as little as possible. That is why insurers often prefer that claimants work with them directly, rather than seeking legal representation. An insurer will have more luck convincing you to accept a lower offer if you do not have an attorney on your side or extensive negotiating or legal experience.

Along with negotiating for a fair settlement by showing that the nature of your injuries justifies the amount of compensation you are seeking, an attorney can also handle all major correspondence with the insurance companies and has the experience in drafting all necessary legal documents.

Additionally, allowing your lawyer to handle the claims process and all of the paperwork required will give you more time to focus on your recovery. Getting back on your feet physically and mentally is crucial in the aftermath of a car accident, and it should be your primary focus.
