I was injured in a case of road rage by a driver who drives for the same company as me. What should I do?

Road rage cases are different from typical car accident claims because the other driver's conduct may have been intentional rather than merely negligent — that opens up both criminal and civil angles you should pursue. First, file a police report if you haven't already; road rage often amounts to assault, and a criminal case builds a paper trail that helps your civil claim too.

The fact that you share an employer adds a wrinkle. If this happened while both of you were on the clock or performing work duties, it might initially look like a workers' comp issue — but most states won't let workers' comp be the sole remedy for an intentional assault by a coworker, so you likely aren't limited to a comp claim. If it happened off the clock, or in personal vehicles unrelated to work, it's treated like any other car accident/assault claim against that driver's insurance (and possibly an umbrella policy).

You should also loop in your employer's HR or safety team, since a coworker who commits road rage against you on the job may trigger their own investigation or policy consequences — separate from your legal claim.

Because this case sits at the intersection of criminal law, workers' comp, and personal injury, it's worth having an attorney sort out which path (or paths) actually apply before you settle anything or give a statement to any insurer.
