The physical demands on commercial truck drivers are more intense than most people realize. Beyond the daily risks of accidents caused by other drivers, your job duties may expose you to injuries while loading and unloading, dealing with unsafe dock configurations and performing essential, basic maintenance.
Most truck drivers injured on the job are entitled to workers' compensation benefits. When a car-truck collision caused by someone else's negligence occurs, you may need a proven personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and fight for your personal and financial interests.
