Workers'
Compensation:
Truck Drivers
Rubens and
Kress has extensive experience representing truck drivers and obtaining large lump
sum settlements on their behalf.
Unfortunately, when a truck driver is
injured he or she may not be able to return to driving and may suffer a
substantial loss of wages over the course of their life.
The Illinois
Workers' Compensation Act has a special provision to deal with wage loss
situations and Rubens and Kress has successfully negotiated large lump sum
settlements for truck drivers and other employees who cannot return to
their former job.
Often truck drivers only have experience in driving.
When they are injured and cannot return to driving they are devastated and
do not know where to turn. There are provisions in the law that may
require your employer to help you find a job within your
restrictions.
BE VERY
CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE A CAREER-ENDING INJURY, MANY EMPLOYERS AND INSURANCE
COMPANIES WILL DO ANYTHING THEY CAN TO AVOID PAYING A WAGE-DIFFERENTIAL AS
IT OFTEN SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES THEIR EXPOSURE ON THE CLAIM.
