what are my rights with employer after car accident?
963563
It is not unreasonable or illegal to change the duties of your job after a crash, which you were responsible for, and he is within his rights to expect you to pay. He does have to consult you about changes to your job.\n\nHowever if he was a decent employer, he would meet the costs of any repairs that are not covered by the insurance through his transport budget.\n\nExpecting you to take a pay cut and making you work on site for 12 months, seems harsh. I'd look for another job. And tell him where he can stick his job.

actually I just had a training session on this, if your carpal tunnel is permananent they have to treat it as a disability, however if it is a temporary condition usually compared to a broken leg, then your employer is required to make reasonable accomodation for you. As far as other employers when asked why you need to explain. If you are the best qualified then you should be hired, I think you and the poster that was fired after the 12 weeks needs to contact the EEOC and have them do an investigation. Most companies do not want to have them involved and are ready to settle, also FYI if they are found negligible you are eligible for $300,000 for each incident.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, maybe request to have a copy of what her injuries were and maybe consult some professionals about the likely hood those injuries occured as a result of your crash.  Shes probably trying to milk you for money now and the injury is probably superficial or non existant.  Check for a statute of limitations , or lawyer up.

None.  If they have insurance then the insurance company has duties to fulfill for you.  If your employer has no insurance, then you might be able to get something from them in court.  However, if you sue for too much they can claim bankruptcy and you're left with nothing, except your damaged noggin.

There is nothing really that you can do  You were an employee at will and they are free to do what they want.  If you were fired ad believe you were let go beacuse of your age or some disability, then you can contact the State for assistance.  But it is very unlikley that you have much recourse.

it actually depends on the state you are in.  my personal advice would be to call a lawyer in that area.  This is much too serious of a matter to let a mistake cost him his rights to workmans comp.

In most states an employer is not required to allow you to come back to work for a non-work related injury without a full release.  In my opinion your employer is being fool hardy allowing you to come back and not accommodating your restrictions.  You can push the issue but you may well end up sitting at home with no pay check until you fully recover. And your employer is well within his rights to do this.

NO you need a lawyer. Or you can go back to your doctor get a statement saying a week off and then file for workers comp.

You are on the hook because it was your car. Now you are in legal trouble for leaving the scene of an accident and your boyfriend is hanging you out to dry.  I would turn him in if he doesn't do it himself.  I would also call my insurance company and at least let them know what is going on.

Are you a union member? If so, check with them first. They should handle it for you. If not, there are some things you should consider. Are you really well enought to go back? If you aren't you will need a doctor's note saying that. If you now are and the human resource department says the 1st shift is the only time available talk to a lawyer. He or she may be able to work something out with a simple phone call. Good luck.

OK, here's your options.  It seems that the guy who hit your car isn't owning up to his responsibilities.  Depending upon where you live you may be able to contact the department of motor vehicles and obtain insurance  & registration information.  However, I suspect that this slime ball was uninsured.  In this case you may have to sue him in small claims court.  To do this, contact your county court and ask for information.  They will tell you what is necessary and may give you information on how to prove your case.  I hope you got his name, address, telephone number and hopefully his driver's license ID number, along with the make, model, year and license plate from his car.   When suing someone in small claims court, come with evidence in hand on the day of your hearing.  Take lots of photos of the car, showing the damage and hopefully you have photos of the car before the accident, showing no damage.  Also, take photos of the accident site, showing if the other guy had a stop sign, red light or the like.  remember that when you take pictures, although you may need some close ups, you must realize that any judge may not know the location and you should have soem "set up" pictures to show the general area.  Finally, get more than one estimate and tell the body shop thta you need the estimate "certified"  (If this is required in your state, the body shop should know what this means.)  good luck

Did your friend tell the doctor/ER that it was a work related injury? Did he/she file a workman's comp claim? Call the state labor board and find out what can be done!

Answer me back...what state did this accident occur in....\n\nDifferent insurance rules apply from state-to-state as there is no unifying federal insurance guidelines.\n\nThere are also different programs in different states.\n\nThere may be something on his or other family members auto policies that may help.\n\n\n---edit info---CALIFORNIA\n\nThis may not mean too much to you at this point in your life but I'll keep it rather simple...\n\nCalifornia is not a "No-Fault" or "PIP" state so the automobile coverage will be limited as follows:\n\nAutomobile MedPay policy:\n\nHe could file a Medical Payments claim under his own auto policy.\n\nHe could file a Medical Payments claim under the vehicle owner's policy if it was someone else's car\n\nHe could file a Medical Payments claim under the policy of a family member with whom he resides.\n\nThese auto MedPay policies usually have limits of $1,000-$10,000 and will help somewhat.\n\nSecond, if the accident was not his fault...\n\n(1) He could file a liability claim against the at fault party's insurance carrier.\n(2) If the accident was caused by a hit and run driver that cannot be identified he coould possibly file an uninsured motorist claim against his own auto policy.\n\nIf this friend was working at time...he could file a Workers Compensation claim on his enployer's WC carrier.\n\nEach CAlifornia County has an indigent care program on top of Medicare and Medi-Cal programs offered at federal and state levels.\n\nThis male friend's best choice of coverage for this is "Medi-Cal" if there is no automobile or Workers Compensation policies applicable to accident.\n\nBelow are links for (1) AM Best digest of state insurance laws... Very Dry reading.\n(2) California Medcare program\n(3) California Medi-Cal program\n\nHope this shows you how important it is to be fully insured in case this happens later to you.

If the car was being used witout your authorization...there should be an additional charge against the person driving it at the time of the accident! You can recoupe those damages thru restitution no law suit necessary. If you want to sue for breach of contract...you need to file suit. If you want to get a judgement in excess of 5k (in NY) you can not file small claims. My suggestion take what you can get in small claims so you dont have to pay the lawyers!

Go straight to the ER. Did you fill out papers with apolice officer at the time of the accident. Did you refuse to get checked at the time the accident? If so you may be out of luck. But still start the process and get a good lawyer.

if you got injured during work-time at your workplace, or any place doing your job for your employer, (in Ontario, Canada), you should inform your employer.  If its very minor like a paper-cut or scratch or something, you can use the first-aid kit for disinfectant and bandage, but if its anything that you see a medical professional (Dr, etc) about, then your employer is required by law, to report Worker's Compensation.  You will be paid for time off for emergency or for a Doctor, if its required, and your employer will be required to modify your job or your facilities(like providing special chair or whatever) while you heal,  If you 're  unable to do your job, your employer is required to provide alternative work, IF they can.  IF they cannot, then Worker's Comp. Insurance will pay until you get some job you can do somewhere else.  There is a time limit for your employer to report it, I think 2 or 3 days, depending on your Province or State.  If s/he doesn't report it, there can be hefty fines.  (employers trying to hide such things are considered virtual criminals).  In this case, your employer may still be safe, because you didn't tell him, s/he didn't know,  so workers comp will just frown.  \n\nThere could be negative consequences to the employer if they know about a "serious" injury and do not report it.\nThere are no negative consequences to reporting an injury.  Employers may not punish you for it.\n\nRule of thumb for the future, any injury or illness from your workplace "serious" enough ----  that is,  IF you go see a doctor or medical pro about it, then you have to tell your boss and they need to report it to Workers Compensation.
