Work-Related Truck Accident Lawyer Fort Lauderdale, FL
Driving your company vehicle, or a commercial delivery truck, carries a certain degree of risk. Even though your vehicle is larger than most on the road and offers a bit more protection, you still have a good chance of being seriously injured in a crash. If you’re driving a company truck as part of your work duties and get into a wreck, you should be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits from your employer. These cover your medical care and a partial wage replacement if you must miss work time to heal.
Getting your workers’ comp benefits should be straightforward, but many drivers encounter issues with denied or minimized claims. If you aren’t getting the benefits you’re entitled to, or if your claim is unfairly denied, talk to our Fort Lauderdale work-related truck accident lawyer about your legal options.
We can also help you explore your right to file a lawsuit for damages against the other driver. Workers’ compensation provides many benefits, but it doesn’t cover all of your damages. We review the crash details to determine if the other driver involved was negligent and liable for the collision, then draft and file the suit, seeking fair compensation for all your lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. We handle the paperwork, calls, and negotiations, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
