Being a delivery driver is hard work, and we’ve seen several bad injuries to workers who injured their foot, ankle, back, and shoulder while driving a truck and hauling packages around.

Cliff is a hard worker, and he had been working as a delivery driver for 15 years. He loved his job, wanted to do right by his employer, and wanted to continue to be a provider for himself and his family. He certainly never wanted to be injured, but like pro athletes, physical, fast-moving jobs like this can take their toll and sometimes you get hurt just doing your job.

Like a lot of people, he thought it would be okay and the insurance company would pay him fairly. But he soon got suspicious. Were they doing the right thing by him? Were they telling him everything? He knew insurance companies take advantage of people, and he wanted to stand up to them. He just wasn’t sure how to go about it.

He was referred to us so he could focus on his medical treatment and therapy. Trying to rehab the foot and ankle injury is tough because it takes so much pounding just by walking on it. And since he didn’t have to deal with the insurance company or worry about his case, he could really focus on maximizing his recovery. Plus, Cliff learned he could get additional benefits because he had a permanent injury, something insurance companies never tell you.

Glad to say the hard work of rehab paid off, and Cliff was able to return to the work he enjoys. And even though his permanent injury didn’t force him to retire like a lot of folks, Cliff got a nice award of benefits to help protect him in the future.

And he was all smiles when he came in to pick up his check!
