We Know Our Opponents
Our law firm has filed many lawsuits against Crete Carrier Corporation, Werner Enterprises/Drivers Management Incorporated (DMI) and other trucking companies. We know our opponents and we know the tactics they use to avoid paying workers' compensation.
Some common tactics that these companies use in workers' compensation cases include:
- Sending you to a different doctor: Under Nebraska law, if you have a family doctor, you can seek treatment from your family doctor. The trucking company will try to get you to see a doctor they pick, a doctor that inevitably will side with them. If the doctor they send you to doesn't side with them, they will send you to yet another doctor.
- Miscalculating your average weekly wage: Workers' comp is based on average weekly wage. Since your wage may vary from week to week, the trucking company will try to lowball you on compensation by miscalculating your average weekly wage.
- Terminating you: Trucking companies are often very aggressive and will even fire an employee in an attempt to cut off a claim.
If you encounter any of these tactics, contacting a lawyer is critical. Even if you don't, we recommend that you get in touch with us to make certain you get the workers' comp benefits you deserve.
