Re: lunchtime comp

Your case is a classic lunch break case. Whether or not it is accepted will depend on a couple of things. Were you a stationary employee? Where exactly were you injured? Etc.

You need to have given notice to your employer within 30 days, however notice can be imputed. You also should also give notice to the comp board asap. If you want to talk about your case please contact me.

What are your injuries you may have more than just a comp case.

You can try collect comp but the you should also consider wether or not to attempt recovery from the insurance company for the other car that hit you, or from your own SUM coverage. Feel free to call or write
