Many Georgia workers are injured on the job while driving for their employer. Whether or not the accident qualifies as a workers' compensation claim under the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act depends on where the employee was going and why the employee was going there. If the employee was on a lunch break going to get lunch for themselves, they likely do not have a Georgia workers' compensation claim. However, if the employee was going to pickup lunch for a company meeting or banquet, and they were involved in an automobile accident, they would have a workers' compensation claim under the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act.
As you can imagine, there are a number of different scenarios that could involve an employee being involved in an automobile accident. If you or a loved one was involved in an automobile accident, and you believe they were performing some function related to their job, please call us today to discuss your case.
