|  At the law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law, we represent commercial truck drivers who have been injured in semi, tractor-trailer, or flatbed trucking accidents or other commercial carrier accidents. In addition to workers' compensation benefits, injured truck drivers may be able to obtain compensation for their losses that were caused by the negligence of a third party, such as the driver of the other vehicle. You Could Be Entitled to More than a Workers' Comp Claim If the other driver in your accident was negligence and you were injured, you should know that negligent motor vehicle drivers can and should be held responsible. You may have a personal injury claim against the motorist—in addition to your workers' comp benefits. If the motorist's car insurance isn't enough to cover your damages, you should be aware that trucking companies carry uninsured and underinsured motorist policies that may cover the difference. To find out about seeking compensation through a personal injury claim, contact us now for your free case evaluation. | | Semi truck accidents can be complicated, raising questions about federal regulations, potential multi-party liability, unsafe trucking practices—and the lengths truckers must often go to live up to employers' demands.

Are you a commercial truck driver who sustained a serious injury due to another driver's negligence? Accidents involving semi trucks, flatbed trucks, tractor-trailers, other large commercial trucks, school buses, limousines, passenger vans, delivery vans, 15 passenger vans, and even RVs often result in serious or catastrophic injury. Fatalities are not uncommon. If your life has been affected in any way by a trucking accident, our law firm understands you have many concerns. Are you no longer able to drive truck because of your injuries? We strive to maximize the compensation available to seriously injured over-the-road drivers and other CDL drivers. You may be under the impression that the only way you can get money for your losses is through a workers' compensation claim. That is not the case. If a third party—the driver of the other vehicle, the manufacturer of your cab, or anyone else besides you or your employer—was at fault in the accident, you have a right to hold them responsible for their actions. You are entitled to seek compensation from any third party responsible for your accident. You should know that trucking companies carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. If the negligent third party's insurance does not pay for all of your damages, your trucking company's insurance generally would cover any damages over the third party's insurance policy limit. We understand the demands on commercial truck drivers The trucking industry faces many regulatory pressures that make it difficult to compete. All too often, these pressures lead companies to encourage unsafe practices by drivers. Truckers are under a lot of pressure to drive longer hours—even beyond those allowed by law. In some cases, a trucker may be forced into noncompliance with federal safety regulations or risk losing his or her job. If you are a trucker and have been found by the police to be at fault, call us for a free case evaluation. If you were found to be at fault because of undue pressures placed on you by your employer, you may not be responsible. You may even have a claim against your employer. Our law firm has the experience to handle this highly complex issue. To arrange your free case evaluation, please contact the law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law.
