Truck Driving Work Injury And Workers' Comp Attorney

According to the Indiana Department of Labor, transportation workers, including commercial truckers and delivery drivers, experience among the highest rates of on-the-job, non-fatal injuries. The United States is also experiencing a significant increase in work-related commercial truck deaths. These statistics shine a light on the hazardous conditions drivers face when operating a motor vehicle for employment. Workers’ compensation benefits are designed to provide coverage for medical care and lost wages for truckers and professional drivers. But on-the-job motor vehicle injuries and deaths are not limited to trucking and professional drivers. Workers' comp coverage also protects workers involved in motor vehicle accidents while on the job.

Employers and insurance companies do not always make the workers’ comp process an easy one. That is where experienced worker's comp attorney Charles Carlock comes in. With a broad range of experience fighting for Indiana citizens involved in job-related truck and vehicle accidents, Charlie fights to protect his clients and their rights.
