Dedicated Service When Rights Are On The Line

Representing Truckers In Missouri And Kansas

If you were injured while driving or performing other duties as a semi truck, tractor-trailer or commercial vehicle driver, you may be entitled to compensation from multiple sources.

To get an understanding of your options, you should speak with an experienced personal injury attorney.

You may be unable to continue working, which causes you to worry about how you can continue to provide for your family.

Seeking Compensation From All Available Sources

Our Missouri and Kansas lawyers have more than 50 combined years of experience helping injured truckers recover compensation. Though you may think that workers’ compensation would be your only resource, in many cases there is another option.

If your injuries were caused by a third party – someone other than your employer – our firm can help you pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible party. If successful, you would then be able to recover compensation from workers’ comp as well as the separate injury lawsuit. We will investigate your case to seek out potential third parties, such as:

  • Manufacturers
  • Maintenance companies
  • Drivers of other vehicles

Common Trucker Injuries

Aside from the injuries caused by truck accidents, there are a variety of other ways that a trucker can suffer injury while on the job. Truckers can be hurt in a variety of ways, including:

  • While tightening down a load
  • By falling off a trailer
  • By falling off a loading dock
  • By being pressured to drive longer hours
  • Equipment malfunctions

If you are a trucker who has been injured, make sure you understand your options for obtaining the full and fair compensation you deserve. The legal team at Ankerholz & Smith is ready to sit down with you and explain your options.
