Message:: [QUOTE="Concorde, post: 5391260, member: 183997"]Oops, forgot to show you this part from the link I gave..."Tornado.  IW was employed as a truck driver. On the <a href="http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/wc/idr/apdmanual_acronyms.html#doi" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/wc/idr/apdmanual_acronyms.html#doi" rel="nofollow">DOI</a>, he was pulling two trailers on an interstate highway. The IW testified that he was unaware of any bad weather in the area, and that his truck was blown over by a tornado causing him injury. The trailers the IW was pulling were thirteen feet six inches tall. The HO determined that the IW was at a greater risk than the general public due to his job as an over-the-road truck driver and the size and relative weight of the trailers he was pulling. This was a factual determination for the HO to make. <a href="http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/appeals/2000cases/002179r.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/appeals/2000cases/002179r.pdf" rel="nofollow">APD 002179</a>."[/QUOTE]
