Truck accident what do i do

yes u definitely need to consult an attorney. your company is responsible for you because u got hurt on the job and its the other person responsibility to make you back hole from the accident lost wages, pain and suffering. if you are on workers comp and receiving benefits you are not really suppose to work. and if u think u can work ask your company to put u on light duty. it will protect u and your back. you can go to www.avvo.com its a website that attorneys will answer your questions in real time. good luck and feel better!

 

I think when you typed "I'll be doing local work...." you answered alot of your own questions - if you had said, "I'll be doing light duty office work..." then its possible that someone would believe that by no fault of your own, you were under duress. That would be a frivilous lawsuit to take a company that generously provided you a job, is paying you comp., to try to squeeze money out of them....

 

To be honest, if they caused the accident then why not sue the s*** out of them? I mean how often do truck drivers get the chance to get revenge when 9 times out of 10 the truck driver is blamed at fault even though they weren't and 4 wheelers sue truck drivers and/or companies. Might actually turn the statistics which of course will take a long time but its a start with a case that can be reviewed at a later case when another driver has a similar issue. Most companies have their own in house lawyer. Don't see why they couldn't help as long as you were legal, safe and not at fault.

 

think I said go after company that hit him and that is causing him pain. you are not suppose to work while receiving work comp benefits!!! if he want to work he should ask his company to provide light duty. light duty consist of more than office jobs

 

I mean, its either we buckle down and start trying to take things back instead of letting the law run us over every time even being truckers as a whole. Other wise its sit back and let them keep screwing us and they don't even offer any KY when they do.

 

Awe man since u just getting break down pay I would be all over that company that hit u

 

I was rear ended in my car when traffic stopped on the freeway... Slam dunk, right? Nope! I had a team of (overpaid) Lawyers on it, a year later I walked with ZERO, the scumbags .... er um I mean the Lawyers made tens of thousands.

Get ready to spend 100 or so hours of your time (not counting the commute to Lawyers offices, court, etc). Then have a Lawyer say "sorry but this looks like a dead end", Thats of course AFTER they bill YOUR companies insurance for their time.

I beg of you, PLEASE DO NOT feed the scum sucking puke liars.
