LOYALTY. IT'S NOT ALWAYS A TWO-WAY STREET

     Truckers, by  and large, are loyal working men and women.  We work very hard to avoid letting our company down by delivering freight on time and keeping the customers happy.  When we get hurt, we tend to tough it out before reporting the injury because we don't want the company to think we are soft or slacking off.  When injured on the job, however, truckers often find that loyalty is not a two-way street.

 

THE ADJUSTER ALWAYS HAS A LAWYER

     Insurance companies and self-insured companies already have their lawyers.  Why?  To ensure that you are playing on a level playing field?  Forget it.  The adjusters and their lawyers have only one mission: To minimize the cost of your claim.  That's it.  Nothing less.

     The self-insured companies have full-time lawyers in their workers' compensation departments to fight your claim.  Who is standing up for you?

     I am dedicated to maximizing the benefits truckers receive under the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Act.  That means getting you the medical care you need, not just what the adjuster wants to pay for.  That means getting you some help getting back to work if you can't return to trucking, not just shoving you out into the cold to fend  for yourself.  That means getting you the compensations the law says you get , not what the adjuster wants to pay you.

 

GETTING APPROPRIATE MEDICAL CARE FOR YOUR INJURY

     Does the nurse case manager have a right to determine what you get and what you don't get when you are injured on the job?  Not according to the judges at the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court.  Yet, it is common to find truckers who are denied appropriate medical attention because a nurse case manager, hired by the workers' compensation adjuster to minimize the claim, interferes and influences treating doctors' decisions.  You have the right to all reasonable medical, surgical, and hospital services...which are required by the nature of the injury and which will relieve pain or promote and hasten the employee's restoration to health and employment.  Don't back down when the adjuster or the nurse case manager rejects your treating physicians's recommendations. Call me.

 

KNOWLEDGE = POWER

     The adjuster and the company's lawyer know workers' compensation law.  Do you?  Are you sure the benefits to which you are entitled are calculated properly?  Just what are the rules concerning which doctors you get to see?  What is a loss of earning capacity, and who determines the amount of that benefit?  What is MMI, TTD, TPD, PPD?

     I know the answers to these questions, and my loyalty is to you, not the adjusters and their lawyers.

     Hiring a lawyer may sound unnecessary now, but time and time again, I have been hired by injured truckers to fix mistakes that could have been avoided.  Getting a lawyer on your side early in the claim can prevent mistakes that have the potential of preventing you from getting the benefits to which you are entitled.  Let's face it.  Big companies have many claims every year.  As a result, they hire their favorite nurse case managers, their favorite doctors, and their favorite vocational rehabilitation counselors to minimize the cost of your claim.  You need somebody on your side who knows who these people are and how to fight back. 

 

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE ADJUSTER SAYS, "NO"?

     If you and your family feel short changed by the adjuster, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!  Get a lawyer who has a reputation for fighting for injured truckers' rights.

     I do not charge any fee for an initial consultation about your claim.  No one even has to know that you talked to me until you retain me.  Once retained, I still will not get one cent until you do.

     Are you really willing to trust your health and your family's financial future to the insurance adjuster?  IF NOT, CALL ME.

 

WHY HIRE TONY BROCK, ATTORNEY AT LAW?

 

     I have been representing injured truckers in personal injury and workers' compensation cases since 1994.  In 1994, I graduated from the University of Nebraska's Law College with distinction.  While serving in the Marine Corps, I graduated from the Naval Justice Legal Officer's School with honors.

 

     I tend to have a combative attitude when I represent injured truckers who are being treated unfairly.  Why?  Because, in addition to being a Marine and working hard in my academic career, I have also been involved in trucking (in one way or another) for most of my life.  I have driven tractor-trailers between both coasts in all kinds of weather.  I've been on dangerous roads.  I've been on dangerous docks.  And, I've encountered dangerous equipment.  Most likely, you will not have to educate me on just how you were injured.

 

     Since 1994, I have been able to successfully present the claims of injured truckers to the judges of the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court.  I have personally tried several hundred cases, and I won't be afraid to try your case if it must be tried.
