if you get into a car accident on the job receive workers comp and afterwards win your accident case do you have to pay it back out of your settlement?
Answer
Only if defendants file for a credit, so the answer is maybe.
Answer
If your employer's worker's compensation insurance carrier paid for medical treatment, then they can place a lien to be reimbursed. However, you can have two separate settlements. One for car accident case against the third party and the second one a worker's compensation case against your employer. Feel free to call me at 213-388-7070 for further assistance.
