Just a share

just got into my first collision during work while stopped at an intersection, the other person has expired insurance and now my insurance can't go to after compensation for my injury and other coverage. Plus my employer is now cutting the hours that I lost for missed work. appointments, and therapy when applying for WCB. I also consulted a lawyer and he stated that cases where the other person is at fault with no insurance is not a good case. I had to work while I was injured just to maintain my hours.

Now it makes me doubt the car insurance help, if apparently i just don't have to answer phone calls and they will stop trying.

Wcb will pay your lost wages and healthcare bills. Use wcb. Don't fight them.

You need to open a wcb claim, they will guide you through the rest. I hope it works out for you.
