that might be true if i carried something that heavy in my van that is going to push the door that hard but good suggestion for all the other drivers

 

people allways looking to sue people

 

Consulting with/hiring an attorney for a Workers Comp injury almost never involves suing anyone. It is done to insure that you know your rights and are treated and compensated fairly. Most of the time the injured worker has no one else he can turn to who can/will insure that things are handled correctly. The insurance adjuster assigned to your case is trained to try to lowball your compensation in case you are permanently impaired and are to receive compensation for your impairment.

 

I don't think this individual is looking for a big windfall. He probably wants to be reimbursed for any time lost, and to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.

 

this is what we pay workmans comp for!!!!! :lol:

 

This is a workers comp claim. You can sue walmart, or the shipper. Good luck with that. They have a firm or two that handles this kind of thing in their sleep.
I worked for an O/O lease to SNI and was injured while I slept. My team partner was run off the road by a phantom Swift truck. I say phantom because they never did find the T/T. Workers comp picked up all the bills along with loss wages. Of course they tried to get me back in the truck 4 days after the accident. It took 32 days for me to be well enough to get back in a truck. I refused to get back in a truck until certain medical conditions were obtained.
1. Full movement of my left knee
2. all stitches and staples were removed.
3. I was not dependent on any pain medication. (did not matter that it said on the pill bottle it didnt make me drowsey)

Your main concern is to get healthy. I hope you do.

 

Workman's comp claim.

The fact that Walmart didn't secure the load is negligable. Furthermore, you never take your eyes of the freight!! I have crap falling on me all the time!

 

Stay in this business long, and it will never happen to you again. I don't care what you haul, stand to the left of the door you are opening. I don't think you will be able to prove negligence on walmarts part! If I were a defense lawyer for walmart the 1st thing I would wonder is why if you didn't load the load why would you be so carefree and just swing the doors open. See what I mean, you have to use some common sense anywhere near a big truck. This is not an attack on you, but I think you learned a valuable lesson you will never forget.Now I know you have a work comp claim. A few yrs back I slipped in some diesel on the fuel island at a pilot. Work comp paid the claim and the surg. on the shoulder, then pilot paid a sizable injury claim then I had to pay work comp back. Always be careful when opening any trailer doors. Loads will shift and move backwards, so expect the unexpected!!!!!
Hope you are feeling better after this accident, and be safe.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
