Legal Question in Employment Law in California

California Labor Law References
A few months ago I was on duty, working for a small private security company (so small that they offer no medical benefits), and I was involved in a traffic accident where I was rear-ended at a traffic light. The fault of the accident was with the other vehicle (the one that rear-ended me). I was driving my company vehicle at the time of the accident. At the time of the accident my employer�s auto-insurance policy was expired!! It did not seem to matter because I did not feel that I was badly injured at that time. I even reported to my employer that I was fine at the time. Recently, I�ve begun to develop back and neck pain and discomfort. What recourse do I have? Is my employer still obligated to pay for me to be examined by a physician? Can they terminate me if the quality of my work diminishes due to back pain? What do the labor laws say about an employer who requires you to drive, yet, does not properly insure its vehicles?

Re: California Labor Law References

Sounds like a worker's comp claim. Contact worker's comp attorney for assist. Should be no retribution for claim.
