In CA do I need to repay workers comp, if I receive a settlement from my own insurance co?


Question:
I was involved in an auto accident in my own vehicle while on working. The person who hit me did not have any car insurance and I doubt they have any assets. My auto insurance settled my total vehicle loss. When I settle my Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury claim with my insurance, do I have to pay back workers comp what they have paid out in medical expenses? Or will the settlement be mine free and clear?

Answer:
Just make sure your uninsured motorist insurance company (your insurance company) knows of your joint workers comp claim so that any settlement will address any liens.

It all depends, to stay out of legal problems I'd contact the state and ask them.
