Minnesota Truck Accident Law Case Study - Defendents in a Minnesota Truck Accident Lawsuit
Injuries and wrongful death related to a workplace injury can involve both workers’ compensation and civil damages under traditional tort law. An example of this is a case involving the death of an employee who was crushed between two commercial vehicles, one owned by his employer and one owned by a third party corporation.
In this case study, a delivery company employee is operating a tractor-trailer owned by the delivery company when he backs it against a stationary trailer owned by another company ("Company 2"). While doing this, the delivery company employee crushes an employee of Company 2 between the two trailers. The employee of Company 2 dies.
The defendants (people being sued) in the wrongful death lawsuit that would be filed by the deceased employee's family would include: the delivery company driver/employee, the delivery company, Company 2 and others.
Company 2 would be part of a workers’ compensation claim seeking reimbursement of the deceased employee's medical expenses. Claims against the delivery company and the delivery company driver/employee would involve traditional wrongful death claims seeking compensation for compensatory damages above and beyond what could be collected through workers’ compensation.
It is important for a good Minnesota truck accident lawyer to sort out the facts and determine the parties that may be responsible for injury or death in a truck accident case.
In the hands of a good lawyer, workers injured in employment-related accidents and families who have lost loved ones in employment-related accidents can often recover amounts substantially above the amounts that could be recovered under workers’ compensation alone.

We will sort out the liability issues and work to obtain just compensation for your injuries.
