Tractor trailer strikes bucket truck

A New Bedford, MA worker is recovering from serious injuries sustained when he was catapaulted from the elevated bucket of a bucket truck.  The bucket was raised to an elevation of about 30 feet and was supporting a worker who was painting traffic signal lights.  He was injured when a tractor trailer struck the support arm after the truck driver failed to notice the support arm for the bucket truck or the worker being raised in the bucket.

This truck accident actually results in two kinds of cases: the first is a worker's compensation claim on behalf of the injured worker, and the second, a third party liability suit against the truck driver.  The relationship between the worker's compensation case and the third party suit can be very complex, so we always recommend that anyone who is injured in a work-related accident like this hire an experienced Chicago personal injury lawyer to reporesent their interests.
