Truck Driver Injury cases in Sparks
Professional drivers based around Sparks run Interstate 80 and Pyramid Way (SR 445) and the docks and yards of Washoe County — long-haul, regional, and local delivery alike. Crashes on the clock, injuries from loading and strapping, falls from cabs and trailers, and years of wear on backs and shoulders all come with the job.
A driver hurt on the job may have a workers' comp claim — and when another motorist caused a crash, a third-party claim against that driver may apply on top. Owner-operator and 1099 arrangements complicate coverage. A participating Nevada law firm may review your situation.
