Fault is not an issue in most cases,but not all. As a general rule traveling to or from work when injured is a bar to coverage.This is called the coming-and going rule. There are exceptions,however.The special hazard rule and the totality of the cicumstances exceptive rule. How close to work were you when the accident occured? Are you fixed sited?
Re: Wreck Car goin to work
I reviewed your question posted last March about your accident. How has the case worked out for you? Were you able to pursue a Worker's comp claim?
I saw that you were asked for more details but I do not see that you provided more information. If you have not talked directly to an attorney, I would be glad to talk to you and answer any questions that you may have.
