Ruth Elizabeth Johnson's Answers

Did Human Resources commit bad faith in regards to Workers Compensation?

In your question you indicate that you were performing a job duty at the time of your accident. If you were indeed in the course and scope of your employment, then you may be entitled to workers compensation benefits. You also may have a separate liability claim against the at fault party that hit you. You really should speak to a car accident attorney and workers compensation lawyer or an office that handles both.

Your friend may want to contact the other driver's insurance company in order to discuss this or an attorney in his area

Whether or not you can get sued versus whether or not you will have valid defenses to a law suit are very different questions. Needless to say the facts as you have stated them regarding the other driver do not seem to affect your liability for the accident and resulting injuries.
