Injured Performing Your Work as a Commercial Truck Driver?
Anyone who drives on the job encounters many injury risks. Over-the-road truckers, delivery drivers, bus drivers, taxi and shuttle van drivers face not only the daily risk of a serious auto accident but often other dangers associated with lifting, loading and unloading, and unsafe conditions on others' property.
At Grandy & Martin in Charlotte, our two dedicated workers' compensation and personal injury attorneys have been seeking benefits and fair compensation for commercial drivers since 1984. If you have been hurt — or have tragically lost a family member — in a work-related vehicle accident or under any other circumstances, please contact us now for caring legal guidance and clear information about your rights.
No matter how you were injured on your job as a commercial driver, and regardless of who was at fault, you are likely entitled to workers' compensation benefits that may cover your medical treatment, wage losses and job retraining if necessary.
Considering All Angles on Your Case and Taking Decisive Action for You
Recognizing unique aspects of the commercial trucking industry, North Carolina workers' compensation law specifically addresses over-the-road truck driver injury issues — such that you are probably covered even as an owner-operator or independent contractor. We are well prepared to thoroughly evaluate all possible sources of recovery for you and take appropriate action, just as we have in recent years for:
- A client injured unhooking a trailer on a slope, whose injuries to both legs justified a $400,000-plus workers' compensation settlement
- A commercial driver who suffered a back injury and needed disk surgery following a collision with two UPS trucks, for whom we also obtained well over $400,000
The reality that many work comp claims are denied, disputed or delayed goes a long way toward answering the question, "why hire a workers' compensation lawyer?" In fact, we have earned many six-figure verdicts and settlements for our valued clients through diligent pursuit of workers' compensation claims as well as personal injury litigation.
