In workers' compensation, if you are involved in an automobile, bus or truck accident while in the course and scope of your employment (meaning while you are working) workers' compensation will be responsible for providing medical benefits and compensation for lost wages, whether the accident is your fault or not. Workers' compensation is a no-fault system that provides benefits to people who are injured while working. If you are involved in an auto accident and the cause of the accident was brought on by the negligence of someone outside of your employment, there may be additional remedies to you in civil court besides the workers' compensation benefits. Your lawyer can give you advice on whether this situation applies in your particular circumstance.
