How Can a Ventura Truck Driver Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Help?

  • File and manage your workers’ comp claim, ensuring you meet all deadlines and requirements.
  • Challenge denied claims if your employer’s insurance company refuses to pay.
  • Negotiate for full benefits, including medical treatment, lost wages, and disability payments.
  • Determine if you have a third-party claim, which could provide additional compensation beyond workers’ comp.
  • Advocate for your rights, ensuring you are not unfairly pressured into a low settlement.

If you were injured while driving, loading cargo, or working in any transportation role, let Johnson Sandhu LLP fight for the benefits you need to recover.

  • Repetitive stress injuries from shifting gears, steering, or unloading cargo

What Should You Do After a Trucking Workplace Injury?

Taking the right steps after a work-related injury can protect your health and your legal rights. If you’ve been hurt while working in trucking, delivery, or transportation, follow these steps:

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Even if the injury seems minor, have a doctor document your condition.
  2. Report the injury to your employer and make sure an official accident report is filed.
  3. Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any hazardous conditions.
  4. Gather witness statements from coworkers, other drivers, or anyone who saw the incident.
  5. Keep records of all medical expenses, lost wages, and any communication from your employer or insurance company.
  6. Speak with a workers’ compensation lawyer before signing any paperwork or accepting a settlement.
  7. File your claim as soon as possible. Delays could result in lost benefits.

At Johnson Sandhu LLP, we are committed to guiding you through every step of your claim to ensure you get the maximum benefits you deserve.

Who Is Responsible for Your Trucking Injury?

In many cases, your workers’ compensation claim will be filed through your employer’s insurance provider. However, if someone outside your employer contributed to your injury, you may have a third-party claim for additional compensation.

Potentially liable parties in trucking and transportation injuries include:

  • Truck manufacturers if a mechanical defect or faulty equipment led to your injury
  • Freight companies if improper loading or unsafe cargo conditions caused harm
  • Subcontractors or third-party logistics companies if negligent operations played a role
  • Negligent drivers if another vehicle caused an accident while you were on the road
  • Property owners if unsafe loading docks, truck stops, or warehouse conditions led to injury

If someone else’s negligence contributed to your accident, you may be eligible for compensation beyond workers’ comp, including pain and suffering, full wage replacement, and future medical costs.

  • Medical treatment costs (doctor visits, surgery, rehabilitation)
  • Temporary disability benefits if you’re unable to work while recovering
  • Permanent disability benefits if your injury results in long-term impairment
  • Job retraining benefits if you can’t return to your previous job
  • Mileage reimbursement for medical appointments related to your injury

If a third party’s negligence caused your injury, you may also be able to recover additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. This could include full wage replacement, pain and suffering, and long-term disability support.
