Trucking crashes are some of the most dangerous because of the differences in weight between passenger vehicles and large trucks. If a smaller vehicle is hit, it’s likely that the people inside will be badly hurt or killed. In many cases involving passenger vehicles, crushing injuries are seen. Crush injuries happen when the body is […]
Getting hurt on the job is bad enough — but finding out that you have very little control over your own medical care afterward may be even worse. Unfortunately, that’s the reality for injured workers in North Carolina. The workers’ compensation rules give your employer the right to dictate which doctor you can see for your injuries […]
Traumatic brain injuries happen in falls, car accidents, workplace accidents, incidents of violence and in many other ways. They are among the most serious injuries that a person can suffer, and they can happen even if the skull itself isn’t significantly damaged. Movement of the brain within the skull can cause damage and bleeding, both […]
It’s not a secret that truck drivers tend to lead a sedentary lifestyle. They have to drive for many hours a day and are often sitting in the same position. Commercial drivers are at a higher risk of developing blood clots, which is why it is important for any driver who suffers from one to […]

They also work extremely hard and are at risk for a variety of injuries. Like most other workers in and around Greensboro, North Carolina, they need financial relief when an injury […]
In North Carolina, most truckers are covered by workers’ compensation insurance. However, in the event of an accident, some employers and insurance companies may try to claim the driver is an independent contractor or should claim against occupational accident insurance (OAI) instead. Do not be deceived by people’s attempts to avoid paying you. The North Carolina […]
If injured at work in North Carolina, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance will probably cover you. Unlike some states where this is entirely optional, almost all employers with three or more staff need to have it in North Carolina. The rare exceptions are specific agricultural, domestic or railroad workers, and those employed by the Federal […]
There is a famous photo called “Lunch atop a skyscraper,” taken in 1932. It shows 11 men perched on a girder, 840 feet above the ground. They are happily eating lunch, completely unsecured while building the Rockefeller Center in New York. That photo would look very different today. The men would be wearing hard hats, […]
