If you’re a union worker injured in a car accident—whether on or off the job—you face a unique set of concerns. From missed shifts to potential conflicts with worker protections, it’s essential to understand how to pursue a personal injury claim without jeopardizing your union benefits.
Many union members—such as construction workers, electricians, or factory workers—are injured during their commute or on personal time. Even if the injury occurs outside of work hours, you may still have a valid claim for:
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of future earnings
Don’t assume that your union coverage will fully protect you—auto insurance companies and employers may try to shift blame or downplay your injuries.
An experienced personal injury attorney will coordinate with your union representative to ensure your rights are protected while pursuing full compensation. This includes:
• Reviewing collective bargaining agreements
• Understanding wage replacement structures
• Protecting your employment status during recovery
You need someone who can navigate both the legal system and the structure of union contracts—not all attorneys understand this balance.
From work restrictions to return-to-duty disputes, having an attorney who understands both auto accident law and union protections gives you an edge. They can build a case that considers all angles—ensuring your medical care, career, and financial future are all protected. Contact us today!
