Compassionate Assistance Through Tacoma Work-Related Auto Accident Claims
Getting into a motor vehicle accident while on the job can introduce multiple layers of complication to a compensation claim. Whether you need guidance through a workers’ compensation claim or you need to hold a reckless driver accountable in a personal injury claim, you deserve the guidance of an injury attorney you can depend on.
At Smith Duran Law, our Tacoma work-related auto accident claims lawyers are dedicated to helping injured workers navigate the workers’ compensation and personal injury claims processes simultaneously while working to maximize the outcomes in both of them.
Can You Receive Personal Injury Benefits In Addition To Workers’ Comp Benefits If You Are Injured In A Car Accident While Driving For Work?
Injured workers can seek additional compensation through a personal injury claim in addition to the money they receive through their workers’ compensation benefits. The workers’ compensation benefits are meant to cover a portion of lost income and medical costs but do not provide restitution for pain and suffering. This is why it is important to pursue the remaining compensation you deserve through a personal injury claim.
Who Can Injured Truck Drivers Or Delivery Drivers File A Third-Party Injury Claim Against In Washington State?

- Employers: It might be possible that the worker’s employer was liable for the accident by failing to maintain the vehicle or provide sufficient training to the driver.
