While most of us know the basics on what to do in case of a vehicle collision with another car or truck, things can be complex and confusing if you're involved in a collision with a tractor trailer. Any wreck involving a tractor trailer doesn't just involve you and the driver of the semi, but also the company that may employ the driver, and all of the insurance companies that may have coverage involved in the collision.

This can leave you unsettled, confused, and stressed while trying to deal with injuries and the legal aftermath. Today, we'd like to walk you through what to do if you've been involved in an accident with a semi.

Last week we let you know about some good news for John Nichols, and this week we have some more great news to share here at BNTD Law!

Workers' Compensation cases most often come about as a result of a physical injury such as a construction worker being injured by falling materials, someone slipping and falling on a wet floor with no cautionary sign nearby, or a back injury after lifting something too heavy.

There is a another category of injury, however, that is less talked-about when it comes to Workers' Compensation cases... psychological (or 'mental') injury.
