CAR ACCIDENT MY FAULT AM I ENTITLED TO WORKERS COMPENSATION IF I AM ON THE JOB?
In California, hundreds of thousands of workers experience injuries while on the job each year. Those familiar with Southern California roads probably are not surprised to learn that many of those injuries occur due to car accidents.
Car accidents can result in physical and emotional injuries that can impact almost every aspect of your life – including your ability to work. After a car crash on the job, you may be entitled to a monetary settlement that will help cover your medical expenses and mental health counseling, as well as any lost wages due to the inability to work. Unfortunately, many workers in the Los Angeles area may not realize this sort of compensation is available to them after an accident, especially if they were driving their personal vehicle when the accident took place.
As a worker, you have certain legal rights and protections when you are injured on the job. Whether you were driving a company vehicle or carrying out your work in a privately owned car, you may be wondering how, or even if, you will be compensated after a collision.

California: Statute of Limitations in Workers’ Compensation
In the workers’ compensation world, there is a long held belief that the “tie goes to the injured worker.” This is especially true when it comes to the statutes of limitations. In fact, the 4th DCA in the case of Blanchard v. WCAB (1975) 53 Cal. App. 3d 590, 40 Cal Comp Cases 784 [40 CCC 784], wrote, “Limitations provisions in the workmen’s compensation law must be liberally construed in favor of the employee… and such enactments should not be interpreted in a manner which will result in a loss of compensation.”
