Transportation Accidents

Operating a vehicle on the job can be strenuous and taxing. Many drivers or pilots work long hours and must constantly remain vigilant to safely get from one place to another. Sometimes, however, accidents occur suddenly and are unavoidable. If you have been in an accident and were operating a company-owned vehicle or were making a work-related trip, you may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits for your injuries. Contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod today at 800-346-5529 to discuss your case.

Types of Accidents

Truckers, bus drivers, and pilots are some of the many employees who may be involved in a transportation accident while on the job. Some of the common types of accidents that can affect workers include:

  • Collision accidents
  • Accidents resulting from poorly maintained vehicles
  • Defective equipment accidents
  • Accidents involving hazardous materials
  • Injuries from loading/unloading materials or equipment

If you have been hurt in a work-related transportation accident, you are likely dealing with the physical, mental, and financial hardship of your injuries. You may require medical treatment and may be unable to work for several weeks or months. Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that may cover an employee’s accident-related costs when he or she is injured on the job.
