- Hit and RunQ. So Somebody is making a claim of loss and injuries apparently by me ( car accident),I have no idea what they are talking about I did drive by there, actually I drive by there often since I go to the store and to visit family, the day this supposedly happened I was by there, but NOTHING happened, if I had run over or hit anyone I would remember, heard a noise, damage my car or I imagine there will be a police report, police would have been knocking at my door because hit and run is serious. I’m assuming is a pedestrian because the claim comes from an attorney not an insurance company. I don’t think my insurance is taking me serious, I made a report to let them know of the attorney’s letter I received and haven’t heard from my insurance in 2 days. What can I do?
- Workers CompensationA. Whether or not you can sue for damages is a factual issue, under California Law you can NOT sue your employer for negligence the sole and exclusive remedy is a Worker Compensation claim. You could potentially sue a third party if there is one involved. Before going any further several things would need to be figured out. Who owned the machine? Your employer or a third party? How the wire got cut? Was the machine defectively manufactured with a cut wire? Was it damaged during the installation process? Did this occur on your employer’s property or that of a third party? No matter how you answer these questions you clearly have a Workers Compensation claim, but you may also have third party claim depending on how the rest of the questions get answered. Talk to a Workers Compensation attorney first to protect your known rights, then figure out if there is also a third party you can sue for additional compensation. You cannot lose your job for making a workers compensation claim, there are very strict consequences for an employer who retaliates against an employee for bringing a workers compensation claim.
