Injuries at work are not just injuries that happen inside offices and other work premises. They also take place outside—whether in traffic or inside other properties. And working on roadways pose an even greater risk on getting injured.
A big population of workers spend a lot of their time on the road. Aside from corporate professionals traveling from one office to another, there are taxi drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers, and those working on roads and streets to maintain and keep them safe.
If you experience any type of work injury or were injured in a car accident while you were at work, you have a right to claim work injury damages against your employer.
