A car accident on the job can leave you with medical bills, lost pay and many questions. In Georgia, workers’ compensation may cover the work injury, and a separate claim against a negligent driver may also be possible. This guide explains how those pieces fit together for anyone searching for a car accident on the job lawyer in Clayton County, GA. T. Madden & Associates, P.C. has been in practice since 1999 and handles car accident claims from its Jonesboro office.<\/p>\n

What Is an On-the-Job Car Accident Claim?<\/h2>\n

An on-the-job car accident is a crash that happens while you are doing work or riding in a work vehicle. That can include deliveries, service calls, trips for a client, and rides in a company van or truck. Whether a trip to or from work counts depends on the facts, so bring those details to your consultation.<\/p>\n

This page is written for drivers, delivery and rideshare workers, service technicians, passengers, and family members acting for an injured worker. Your claim depends on who caused the crash and how the work was set up. For rideshare trips, Georgia law limits when a ride share network service can be held liable for a driver’s operation of a personal car. That protection depends on the service not being negligent or involved in criminal misconduct, on the service complying with the requirements of this part relating to obligations to a ride share driver and any other provision otherwise required by law, and on the service conducting or causing to be conducted a criminal background check, or obtaining a private background check certification, for each ride share driver at least once every two years (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 40-1-201<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What Damages Can Be Part of a Claim?<\/h2>\n

A claim can seek money for the losses the crash caused. Georgia separates general damages, which the law presumes from the wrong, from special damages, which you must prove (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-2<\/a>). Common losses include:<\/p>\n
