Workers' Compensation for Truck Drivers and Delivery Drivers

Truck drivers and delivery drivers are at risk for a variety of different injuries in the course of doing their jobs. Whether it is an injury from an accident or a repetitive injury, if it occurs while you are working, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. At the Illinois workers' compensation law firm of Grauer & Kriegel, LLC, our attorneys are skilled in handling workers' comp cases involving truck drivers and delivery drivers. We are also experienced in handling concurrent third-party personal injury claims.

On-the-Job Injuries for Truck Drivers and Delivery Drivers in Illinois

Illinois roads and highways are filled with truck drivers and others who drive for a living. These jobs are essential to keeping the economy moving, but they can expose workers to a variety of injuries, including:

• Automobile Accident Injuries – Drivers can be seriously injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents. When you have an accident on the road while driving for work, you may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits as well as a third party claim against the at-fault driver.
• Lifting Injuries – Truck drivers and delivery drivers who have to load and unload heavy cargo are vulnerable to back and neck injuries and other injuries related to lifting.
• Repetitive Injuries – Whether it is sciatica from sitting in a truck for long periods of time or another repetitive injury that occurs from overuse, you are entitled to workers' comp benefits if your injury developed from an on-the-job activity.

When someone other than your employer shares the blame for your injury, you can also obtain a financial recovery from a successful personal injury claim. For example, if you are injured in a truck accident caused by a drunk driver while driving for work, you may be able to file for workers' compensation benefits and also file a personal injury case against the drunk driver. In doing so, you can maximize your compensation.
