Injured While Driving a Truck? Truckers Have Rights
Representing independent contractors, company drivers, and owner-operators across the U.S. when the unthinkable serious injury or wrongful death happens on the road.
This Page Is for Truck Drivers Who:
- Were injured on the road or at a dock loading/unloading cargo.
- Drive as independent contractors, company drivers, or owner-operators.
- Were injured in a different state than where they live or where their company is based.
- Were told “you don’t have a case” by an employer or insurance adjuster.
- Feel insurance is minimizing their injury or trying to rush a lowball settlement.
Most Drivers Are Told These Things.
They’re Wrong.
Don’t let misinformation keep you from the compensation you deserve.
Myth:
“I filed for Workers’ Comp, so I can’t file a lawsuit.”
Reality:
Workers’ Comp pays for basics, but it rarely covers everything. If a third party (like another driver, a loading dock operator, or a manufacturer) caused your injury, you may have a Third-Party Liability claim worth significantly more.
Myth:
“I’m an independent contractor (1099), so I’m on my own.”
Reality:
Your employment status does not strip you of your rights if someone else’s negligence hurt you. Independent contractors often have more avenues for legal action than company employees.
Myth:
“The accident happened in a state I don’t know, so I’m stuck with their local rules.”
Reality:
Trucking law is federal and cross-jurisdictional. You aren’t stuck. You can hire an advocate who knows how to move your case to the venue that offers you the best protection and maximum compensation.
The Road Doesn’t Stop at State Lines. Neither Do We.
Trucking accidents are legally complex because they rarely happen close to home. You might live in one state, work for a company in another, and get injured in a third.
Local lawyers often don’t understand the complex web of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations or how to manage cross-border litigation. You need a legal team that follows the freight.
