Re: No Tire Chalks
In addition to a worker's compensation claim you may have a claim against third parties (for damages above and beyond the worker's compensation remedy). If you'd like to give me a call and describe how the accident happened I'd be happy to speak with you and let you know if we can help (or refer you to an attorney who specializes in worker's compensation).
