Im not a workmans comp lawyer so I don't know how it will play out on the end, but i do know how a similar injury played out for one of my drivers back in 02. He got mugged walking to the truck at the old rip griffin(now a ta) east of Dallas. Got hit over the head with something leaving him with a real bad concussion, several staples and a stay in the hospital. Our workmans comp denied the claim because it happened during a crime, not work related injury.

Now if liability court cases were tried on law it might matter. Since every liability case I've seen the results of are tried on emotions, it doesn't really matter what happened, just who have the deepest pockets.spyder7723 Thanks this. -
By the way, I just realized that the TA OKC West, where it happened, never ever gets full! Also, there are four mega truck stops in that exit, and none ever get full, except the Love’s, which only has 20 parking spaces. So sad.Attached Files:

Doesn't matter anyway as in the case discussed there was plenty of legal parking.JonJon78 Thanks this. -
There are truck stops where there isn’t much space left to park because now it’s like 50% reserved parking. You need to park somewhere. So you can park in the fuel island, next to the CAT scale, in a fire curb, or if you’re like most reasonable drivers, just take a reserved parking space and take your 30-min break! And, yes, you want to be careful about doing this at night. -
The subject is a driver got shot when confronted for parking illegally. Let's try and stick to that subject. -
You are here making a big fuss over taking a 30-min break in a reserved parking space when in reality it’s not. Truck stops with reserved parking know this will happen because sometimes there isn’t enough parking. I’m sorry ZVar, but sometimes you go overboard with stuff that most people would find funny and a little OCPD.
