Workers’ Compensation Attorney for Truck Drivers

As a truck driver, an injury is a possibility in almost every function of your job. In an instant, a work-related injury can prevent you from working while simultaneously contributing to expensive medical bills.

Truck Driver Injuries

Trucker drivers are vulnerable to injury through multiple job functions on a daily basis. Vehicle collisions, falling freight, and injuries while unloading trailers are just a few of the ways drivers sustain injuries while on the job. Colin Theis specializes in representing injured truck drivers and can help you receive the benefits you are owed, so you can take care of your needs following a truck accident.

Compensable Truck Driving Injuries Include:

Injuries sustained as a result of a manufacturer’s defect.
Injuries sustained as a result of your employer’s failure to maintain your vehicle.
Injuries sustained as a result of an accident caused by an improper load.
Injuries sustained as a result of a motor vehicle accident whether the fault of another or your own.
Injuries sustained as a result of a slip and fall.
Injuries sustained as a result of falling from your truck.
Injuries sustained as a result of falling freight.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury

When you’ve been injured on the job, give yourself the best opportunity to receive all of the benefits afforded to you by following these three easy steps.

Report Your Accident & Injury

First, you need to alert your employer of a job-related accident and your injury right away. Both you and your employer may be required to fill out an injury report.

Go To Your Family Doctor

Get any necessary referrals and opinions written by your family doctor — not one provided by an employer or insurance company — and be sure to keep track of any accrued medical costs and time missed.

Report Your Accident & Injury

After filing a report with your employer and getting a full checkup from your doctor, contact me to determine if your injury is covered under the law. The quicker that I can begin fighting for you, the better.

If you’ve had an accident on the job, no matter what caused your injuries, Colin recommends contacting him immediately. His experience as a truck driver injury lawyer makes him a valuable asset following an injury.
