A Truckdriver and the Undocumented Back Injury

A longtime truck driver experienced crippling lower back pain, making it impossible for him to continue work. His employer’s workers compensation insurer denied that it was work-related, and argued that his only work injury in their records was to one of his legs. Jim took depositions of other employees to prove that the supervisor had failed to document repeated complaints of back pain, and worked with a team of physicians to explain the cause of the injury. The case settled before the Labor Department trial.
