Commentary on Min Wang 18-wheeler Accident on I-10 in Pecos County

Something to consider in a situation like this is the typical restrictions workers' comp puts on truck wrecks. If both people in the truck were co-workers, then there may be little option beyond workers' comp alone. However, there can be exceptions.

One example is a passenger unaffiliated with the company, such as a friend, family member, or hitchhiker. Since they aren't working, they can pursue help through the courts as they would in a normal truck accident. Another possible exception is a co-worker who is off the clock and in a sleeper berth. Since they aren't technically working, the right evidence and legal maneuvering could show they aren't bound by the typical confines of workers' comp. Are steps being taken to get clear answers about what comes next for those hurt in the crash?
