Injured On Duty By A Negligent Motorist Or DUI Driver? "It's Not Just A Workers Comp Case!" Former Prosecutor Todd P. Emanuel Can Help! Myth #1: My only remedy is filing a worker's compensation claim. Myth #2: I can't bring a claim against the negligent driver. Myth #3: I can't file a claim with my own auto insurance company.

FACT: If you've been injured on the job by a third party such as a negligent motorist or drunk driver, YOU CAN (and should!) recover substantial personal injury damages (tax free) in addition to worker compensation benefits. DO NOT leave money on the table by limiting your remedy to workers compensation! I have helped police officers throughout the counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara.
