Truck drivers do more than just drive. Tarping loads, dragging hoses, entering warehouses, sometimes unloading, hiking through broken pavement that has been ignored for years, and just getting in and out of the cab on a snowy day, are just a few of the situations that pose a risk of injury. Of course, accidents on the road also occur. Remember that workers compensation is a no-fault system. Even if an accident is arguably your fault, you are entitled to workers compensation benefits. If your on the road injury was caused by someone else's negligence, you likely have a claim against that other driver too. In that situation, you can make claims under workers compensation, and pursue further recovery against the negligent driver. Call us for assistance in the event you have sustained injury during the course of your trucking work.
