Single-Truck Accident can be a Workers' Compensation Case

Calhoun County, Iowa.  August 3, 2010 - A single vehicle accident involving a semi-truck driver who it's reported failed to stop at a stop sign while turning right from Fairfax Avenue to D-15. His speed and sudden right turn caused the truck to roll onto the driver's side and then come to rest on it's top in the south ditch. The driver Russell J. Edwards fro Sioux City, Iowa was killed. He was 44-years-of age. I'm reporting this in the workers' compensation section because in instances like these no matter if the driver is at fault his dependents, wife and children, are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits. There is a wrinkle to this one but in respect for the relatives no analysis will be made. The truck owner, Wells Ag Supply from Fonda, Iowa may also be the employer.

After a worker is injured is when they need the support of their employer the most. But injured workers aren't given a level playing field. The company doctor often times is not helping them and the case manager isn't either. The worker is left alone to fend for themselves and to make mistakes that result in lower benefits or fewer weeks of benefits. Some are sent back to work too soon. There is only one person on your side and that understands this system. If your lawyer doesn't understand the nature of this claim you've got the wrong lawyer.  Steve Lombardi has practiced in the area of workers compensation for over 30 years.
