Ok I was at work at a military store on a military base. I was on the clock And I sometimes have to Back trucks to our loading dock. There is no extra space
In the doorway to signal the driver once he''s within the last couple feet.
So here I was backing this truck in and I had him
Stop but then realized that he was not close enough, now keep in mind
These trucks don''t have ramps or cameras or
Extra mirrors to prevent having to do this. I had to lean my head out
The side of this doorway to tell this driver to come back, just as I stuck my head out
He back up about 2 or 3 inches catching and pinning my head between the back of
The truck and the concrete wall almost crushing my head. I was stuck pinned for about 30
Seconds yelling for my life for the driver to pull forward and he finally realized it, pulled forward and I got my head free and was flown by plane to a hospital. I had no real damage but the principle of the matter these trucks need to be made with cameras or mirrors or even putting ramps on them. It is unsafe and I nearly lost my life. I would like
To know if I would have any case against anyone. If it''s not me it will be someone else who is not so lucky.
The fundamental premise of our system of liability is that you must suffer legally recognized damages -- actual harm -- in order to recover money. You cannot recover to set an example or to benefit someone else. In employment law, generally workers compensation is the employee's sole remedy.
