North Richland Hills Police Officer Injured In Car Wreck

Most people don't realize that if they've been injured on-the-job due to an accident caused by someone else's negligence, they might be entitled to further damages above and beyond that paid by worker's compensation. This is particularly common if you have to drive Dallas-Fort Worth roads frequently as a part of your job. Another example might be if you were hit by a truck in your workplace's parking lot. Provided that the truck driver was employed by a different company than the one you work for, you might well have a personal injury claim.

A North Richland Hills police officer found himself in a similar situation yesterday, as his patrol car was rear-ended by another vehicle. The unnamed officer was sitting in his stopped vehicle as he completed a accident scene report for an earlier wreck at Holiday Lane and Mid-Cities Boulevard. An Acura crashed into the back of him. The officer was rushed to a local hospital, although it is not believed that his injuries are life-threatening.

In this case, the officer's employer's workers compensation carrier would cover his medical bills and contribute towards any lost wages due to time off work. However, because the driver who collided with his cruiser is unrelated to his employer, he is entitled to hire an attorney to pursue additional compensation to cover any other related costs, as well as compensation for his pain and suffering.
