Re: workers compensation law
They can raise your rates since WC is never about fault. No matter whose fault the incident is, the question is merely one of whether it is in the course of employment. However, the good news is that if your employee is able to recover for his injuries from insurance, then he has to reimburse the WC carrier which in turn helps lower the rates.
I would suggest that you encourage your employee to seek counsel in order to pursue the Uninsured motorist claim for the hit and run. I would be happy to help. I can be reached at 800-34-NJ-LAW.
