Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas

Re: workers compensation

Do you know the reason you were denied WC coverage? From your description, since you were going to work, that is, not actually at work or going to a call, you were probably not considered "in the course and scope of work." However, if you were in a company car, your company should have insurance on the car, and most importantly should have "uninsured/underinsured" coverage which allows you to file a claim or lawsuit against your company's own auto insurance since you were hit by someone, I am assuming, who had no insurance and/or drove off. If you want to talk further about this, feel free to give me a call or email. We handle auto insurance lawsuits frequently.

Additionally, if you have uninsured/underinsured coverage on your own car, you may be able to make a claim on that policy. Essentially, you may have three sources of coverage: (1) if the illegal immigrant has insurance (but it sounds like he didn't); (2) your company car insurance policy; and (3) your own car insurance policy. You need to be careful, however, because you don't want to settle with one insurance policy without notifying the other policies or else you may lose the ability to make a claim. It's best to consult with a lawyer who has dealt with insurance companies and multiple policies.

Re: workers compensation

You may still be entitled to workers' comp, depending on the circumstances. We would need to discuss that in detail before I could give you a good answer. There are exceptions to the "going and coming rule." You may review www.dallasworkcomp.com for additional information as well.
