On another job site that my employer has a contract with to do a collection and was injured. By law my job is not required to carry worker's comp because there are less then 4 employees. Can this be a personal injury since i wasn't at my job site?
Short answer: If you were hurt while working for your employer and you were helping him do his work at simply another location per direction , you are covered by the Workers Comp Act. You will most probably need a lawyer because they will probably deny given the facts.

I cannot tell exactly what is going on via your post. Generally, if you are on light duty restrictions per an authorized, treating physician, you are entitled to weekly benefits.

If you only have one employee, in South Carolina you do not need to have workers' compensation insurance.

Unfortunately he works in south carolina alone and is wanting to get the surgery here, or have someone help do daily task at his home in south Carolina. He prefers treatment down here in texas as he can be with family and not alone during his time of need. Is there anything we can do?
You do have options. He can get his treatment in Texas, it just has to be addressed with the adjuster or opposing counsel. Really should speak to one of us on Justia so we can explain your options.
Gave her a ticket for 234.00,nothing is hinging its just cracked out. Why he stopped her she didn't need the light cause it was daytime and it does work at night when needed.
Wow. It is faulty equipment; however, that's really odd that one would get pulled over for that alone. I have little doubt that if you go to the hearing, it will get significantly decreased or dropped based upon the fact it was day light.
In addition, though I was not at fault and did not receive a citation, my driving record is showing me at fault causing my insurance rate to increase. How do I fix this?

There are a few issues i can already see such as have you gone to the doctor yet? If not, that could be an issue. You really should simply... Read more »
