An El Centro Truck Driver succumbed to fatal injuries from a traffic accident...
San Diego Wrongful Death Attorney Mark C. Blane was pivotal in his role in representing the estate of a woman big rig driver that lost control of her 18 wheeler in a turn in El Centro, California. The "California Workers Compensation Exclusive Remedy Rule" applied on these facts since the woman driver was in the course and scope of her employment during the accident, and the accident was not caused by any other at-fault party. Hence, it is said the exclusive remedy of California workers' compensation applies. The police report documented evidence that the driver made an unsafe turn which caused the 18-wheeler to crash causing her fatal injuries in the truck compartment. The statutory maximum of $160,000.00 was extended.
