Worker Obtains 70 Percent Industrial Loss Award Following Truck Accident
Mike Hyatt worked as a skilled laborer for a company that cleaned up freight train derailments. On the way to a job, Mike was driving a company semi truck and fully loaded trailer, when another semi truck slammed into the back of his rig. Mike suffered neck and back injuries.
Attorney Tom Palmer took Mike's case to a hearing before a deputy workers' compensation commissioner and obtained a 70 percent industrial loss award. Mike had significant pre-existing back problems. But, attorney Palmer gathered reports from Mike's doctors, who stated that Mike's back had been permanently aggravated by the semi-truck collision.
