Truck Drivers – Injured At Work? Know Your Rights!
If you’re a commercial truck driver who has been injured while on the job, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Truck accidents can result in serious injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Burns
- Amputations
These injuries can have a devastating impact on your life, both physically and financially. Medical expenses can quickly mount, and you may be unable to work, resulting in lost wages and diminished earning capacity.
Who is Liable?
Truck accidents can have many causes, including:
- Driver fatigue
- Distracted driving (texting, cell phone use)
- Improperly maintained trucks
- Cargo shifting or unsecured loads
- Aggressive driving
- Adverse weather conditions
Determining liability in a truck accident can be complex. You may be able to recover compensation from:
- The negligent truck driver
- The trucking company
- The company that loaded the truck
- The manufacturer of the truck or its parts
What Compensation May I Be Entitled To?
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
- Lost wages (past, present, and future)
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Disfigurement
- Loss of earning capacity
Don’t Let the Insurance Companies Take Advantage of You
Insurance companies are in the business of making money, not paying out fair claims. They may try to:
- Deny your claim
- Offer you a lowball settlement
- Delay the claims process

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney on your side. An experienced truck accident attorney can:
