Workers’ Compensation Attorneys in Nebraska for Injured Truckers
If you’re a truck driver, thank you. Your work is essential, keeping shelves stocked, supply chains moving, and our country’s economy running. With long hours on the road, demanding physical requirements, and increasing delivery pressures, your role is more important than ever.
But with that responsibility comes risk. When a workplace injury sidelines you, whether due to loading cargo, long-distance driving fatigue, or an accident on the road, it’s more than just physical pain. It’s about your livelihood. And when you can’t return to the same physically demanding work, the future can feel uncertain.
That’s where we come in.
Protecting Your Future: Medical Benefits, Wage Loss & Vocational Support
Nebraska is home to many regional and national trucking companies, and our attorneys at Shasteen, Morris, & Ockander, P.C., L.L.O. have extensive experience representing injured truck drivers across the country. We understand how the physical demands of truck driving, governed by DOT regulations, can make returning to work impossible if your injury causes permanent limitations.
Nebraska Workers’ Compensation law provides critical protections, including:
Medical treatment and wage replacement for time missed from work
Vocational rehabilitation if you can no longer meet the physical demands of your driving role
Permanent disability compensation for lasting impairments that reduce your earning capacity
Many truck drivers we work with don’t live in Nebraska but sustain injuries while employed by companies based here. Whether you live in Indiana, Texas, Georgia, California or any other state, you may still have a Nebraska Workers’ Compensation claim. And you don’t have to travel to Nebraska, we handle most of the process remotely, by phone, email, and mail.
Why You Need a Workers’ Compensation Attorney Who Knows Trucking
Truck driver claims are often more complex than standard cases. You might be paid per mile, per load, or on varying schedules, making average weekly wage calculations more challenging. Some employers may ask you to travel to a distant terminal to perform light duty, even when it’s unrealistic given your injury.
Insurance companies are focused on minimizing payouts. We’re focused on maximizing your recovery. At Shasteen, Morris, & Ockander, we only represent injured individuals, never the companies. We’ve seen all kinds of trucking cases, and we know how to fight for what you’re owed.
