style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400;line-height:1.5\">Truck drivers face numerous risks while on the job, including: slips, trips, and falls (on loading docks, fuel stops, or icy surfaces), lifting and loading injuries (back, shoulder, and knee strain from heavy cargo), forklift and equipment accidents, falling cargo or unsecured loads, being struck by other vehicles at loading zones or

Potentially responsible parties include: your employer (if unsafe working conditions or lack of proper training contributed), the property owner or business (if dangerous conditions at a delivery site caused your injury), third-party contractors (such as forklift operators or warehouse staff), truck manufacturers or maintenance providers (if equipment failure played a role).

If your injury was caused by your employer\u2019s negligence, you may be eligible for workers\u2019 compensation, which covers medical bills and lost wages.
