What happens if you are injured in a car accident by someone who is at work or driving a company car, at the time of the incident?  Did you know the company who employs a person who causes an accident while they are on the clock can also be held liable for your injuries and all resulting costs, expenses and compensation?  Did you know that a company giving an at fault driver a company vehicle can also be held liable for the injuries?

Many of the drivers with whom we share the road in Louisville are actually in the course of their work day.  Their employer shares liability for any injuries you sustain in a car accident due to their negligence.  The experienced personal injury attorneys at Hargadon, Lenihan & Herrington, PLLC investigate all potential sources of recovery to ensure our clients receive full and fair compensation for any injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident due to someone else’s negligence.

While many of the vehicles on the road today include advanced safety features, a person at work is often distracted while driving.  They may be checking their email or text messages from their employer asking about their progress or seeking an update on their work.  Those who drive during the course of their work often stop to pick up a bite to eat which increases the likelihood they will become distracted and cause an injury accident.

Distracted drivers tend to cause more dangerous accidents resulting in serious injuries, especially at busy intersections.  T-bone or side impact accidents have substantially increase over the past several years across Kentucky and here in Louisville.  There is less protection for the occupants of a vehicle when it is struck from the side and serious injuries can include:

• Head trauma or Traumatic Brain Injury
• Fractures and Damage to the Neck or Spinal Column
• Internal injuries
