Re: Insurance Deductable and Lost Wages

Generally, if you cause an accident while doing work for your employer, your employer is liable under the theory of respondeat superior. Your employer may then seek to recover its expenses from you.

It might not be a bad idea to have a lawyer look over any paperwork your employer tries to get you to sign to make sure you are only paying what you are required to.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.

I cannot answer your question without more information.

Who caused the accident? Was it your fault or someone else?

Were you injured?

Was anyone given a ticket?

You should talk directly to an attorney before you agree to anything!

I have been representing clients who have been involved in accidents for over 33 years. Feel free to give me a call and we can discuss the issues that I have raised and at least head you in the right direction. NO charge or obligation for a confidential telephone conference.
