Accidentes De Vehículos De Motor en El Trabajo
Llame Para Trabajar Con Nuestros Abogados De Compensación De Trabajadores De Oakland
En la actualidad, con los servicios y entregas en el mismo día, hay un número creciente de ocupaciones que requieren que sus empleados regularmente salgan a las vías públicas. Desde mensajeros de correo, transportadores de alimentos hasta las tripulaciones de choferes de camiones y transporte personal. Es decir, todo tipo de carreras que implican el transporte directamente con funciones necesarias. Lo que muchos empleadores no saben o no quieren aceptar es que, al llevar a un trabajador fuera de la oficina o punto de venta y obligarlos a embarcarse en un viaje a través de la ciudad, ponen a ese empleado a un mayor riesgo de lesiones.
A menudo, cuando un empleado resulta herido mientras conduce se encuentran en una situación de tratar de hacer que su compañía matriz acepte la responsabilidad. Lo que muchos empleadores intentan afirmar es que sólo son responsables de los accidentes que ocurren en la "base" o la oficina. En Centro Legal de Pacific Workers, nuestros abogados de compensación de trabajadores de Oakland están dedicados a lograr una representación equitativa de las personas en tales situaciones aparentemente unilaterales.
Peligros Comunes Relacionados Con Los Vehículos Automotores En El Trabajo
Los conductores que recorren los caminos públicos para cumplir con los deberes descritos en su cargo no son necesariamente los únicos en peligro de accidentes de vehículos de motor. Hay muchas ocupaciones que requieren la intervención de maquinaria móvil y/o pesada. Sin la formación adecuada o sin mantenimiento, estas útiles máquinas puede ser peligrosas para los obreros industriales.
Los vehículos de motor que a menudo plantean un peligro para los conductores incluyen:
- Carretillas elevadoras
- Tractores
- Las transpaletas pesadoras motorizadas
- Grúas
- Equipo de minería
- Equipos de cuidado del césped
Para muchos otros la conducción de un vehículo es, esencialmente, la columna vertebral de sus profesiones. Si bien se podría esperar que ellos consiguieran una amplia cobertura en caso de un accidente de auto, esto no es una garantía. Puede ser necesario obtener ayuda y orientación de un abogado profesional en su lugar.
En el pasado, hemos representado a los conductores que pasan gran parte de su tiempo en la carretera, tales como:
- Oficiales de policía
- Bomberos
- Paramédicos
- Taxistas
La razón por la cual debemos ser nosotros a quien usted acuda para representación legal

Workers' Comp FAQ
-
Do independent contractors get workers’ compensation in California?
No, most independent contractors are not covered by workers’ compensation insurance that is provided by their employer. The law does not require most employers to offer this sort of employment benefit to independent contractors. To get workers’ comp as an independent contractor, you will usually have to purchase a policy on your own.
-
Are Independent Contractors Eligible for Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
Independent contractors are generally not eligible for workers' compensation benefits because they are not considered employees under California law. However, some employers may misclassify employees as independent contractors. If you believe you are misclassified, consult with a legal professional to assess your situation.
-
Am I Eligible for Workers’ Compensation?
In California, all employees are eligible for workers’ compensation with very few exceptions. If you are classified as an “employee” (rather than an “independent contractor”), you are eligible to receive benefits. This is true regardless of how many employees your employer has, how many hours you work, how much you make, whether you work part-time or full-time, or whether you are a seasonal worker. Additionally, undocumented workers are also eligible for workers’ compensation granted they meet all other eligibility requirements. In contrast, independent contractors and certain other workers, including some volunteers, household workers who are employed by a family member, and others, are not able to file for workers’ compensation benefits.
-
What If My Employer Denies My Workers’ Compensation Claim Because I’m a Seasonal Worker?
Employers in California are legally required to provide workers' compensation coverage to all employees, including seasonal workers. If your claim is denied, it's advisable to consult with a workers' compensation attorney to understand your rights and explore options for appealing the decision.
-
My Employer Said That I’m an Independent Contractor, Not a Regular Employee, so I Can’t Get Benefits. Is This True?
You’re not necessarily an independent contractor by law if the nature of your job doesn’t fit the description, an attorney may help analyze your situation and guide you in this matter. There are high chances of contractors being eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, so it’s always worth trying.
