I was involved in a car accident. The other driver went through a red light that turned red before he entered the intersection because I could see the reflection of the red light on the perpendicular road when I was approaching the intersection. The police were called and the other driver claimed that the accident was my fault because he went through a yellow light. The officer seemed to believe me because of how the accident occurred. I was oncoming, my light turned green so I proceeded right as soon as the light turned green and with some speed approaching the light. Maybe I was guessing a little because I have approached that intersection before but it doesn't matter. I guessed right and I did NOT enter the roadway until the light was green. Their car hit me on the driver door's side which means I was already in the intersection and their car was late. I was hurt and had to go to the hospital for whiplash injuries. The officer gave them a ticket for going through a red light believing my story. It isn't life threatening but I can feel it now. The officer wasn't there but believed me and decided that the other person was not truthful.
I had a car accident on the way home from work. I had injuries that I suffered and will probably need time off from work. The drive was necessary for my commute home from work. If I need to recover money to pay for my expenses, is this something that workers' comp will cover? I am not sure if the other driver had good insurance and I am worried that they had the lowest amount of insurance and doesn't have much money. This is why I want to know if the car accident that happened on my daily commute might be considered a work accident.
