If you have a personal injury claim from a traffic accident one of the first things that you generally do is get a lawyer. However, if you're at work when you're driving and the accident happens, you have to do some things differently, mostly because of the fact that you were performing your job duties when the accident occurred. Some companies don't want you to file an accident claim when something like this takes place, either, because they know that it will likely involve some legal hassles. They might want to avoid them, but you have a right to make a claim for your injury, whether or not your company advises that you do that. The basic claim itself will be the same, regardless of whether you were at work at the time or whether you were driving your personal vehicle. Accident claims are not just about the accident, either. They are about who has a better driving record, who has the best lawyer, and whose 'facts' appear to be more accurate and verifiable. If your company has a history of traffic accidents, even if you weren't involved in any of them, it could work against you when you're trying to make a claim.

Your personal driving record will matter, but since you were at work information about the company will also matter. Keep that in mind so that you can work with your accident claim specialist to try to mitigate any damage that might be done by working for a company with a poor track record for motor vehicle accidents. If you've been the victim of a traffic accident while at work and you have a personal injury claim, you may have to get a claim specialist, or the company may get one on your behalf. Either way, one should be retained. Don't try to fight the other driver yourself, because the other driver probably has a solicitor to help him or her. If you also retain someone to help you, it's much more likely that you'll be able to settle your personal injury claim for your traffic accident quickly and out of court. That's much easier on you, your company, and everyone else involved in the proceedings, and it can help everyone get through the issue and back to their lives more quickly. Be aware that, while what your company wants you to do is important, it is your personal injury claim. You must do what you see fit in order to ensure that your needs are addressed.
