I was running an errand for my employer last week and was in a wreck with a pick-up truck. My car was stopped in traffic on Interstate 40 near Lebanon, Tennessee and the pick-up rear-ended my car at a high rate of speed. My car was totaled and I spent five days in the hospital. What are my rights?
You have two potential claims. First, you have a worker’s compensation claim because you were injured in the course of employment (assuming your employer has five or more employees).
Second, you have a claim against the driver of the other car. This is called a "tort" claim.
