Tragic outcomes of mismanaged pain medication

Posted on by

I found the comments by David DePaolo on an injured worker’s recent fentanyl overdose very interesting and thought provoking. A Pennsylvania court found the overdose compensable.

I recently recovered for the widow of a man who died from the side effects of long term pain medication usage. This type of tragic death should be covered by workers’ compensation and I applaud the Pennsylvania court for the reported decision. All the participants in the workers’ compensation system need to reflect on the role of long term drug use. This article focuses your attention.

The offices of Rehm, Bennett, Moore & Rehm, which also sponsors the Trucker Lawyers website, are located in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. Five attorneys represent plaintiffs in workers’ compensation, personal injury, employment and Social Security disability claims. The firm’s lawyers have combined experience of more than 95 years of practice representing injured workers and truck drivers in Nebraska, Iowa and other states with Nebraska and Iowa jurisdiction. The lawyers regularly represent hurt truck drivers and often sue Crete Carrier Corporation, K&B Trucking, Werner Enterprises, UPS, and FedEx. Lawyers in the firm hold licenses in Nebraska and Iowa and are active in groups such as the College of Workers’ Compensation Lawyers, Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG), American Association for Justice (AAJ), the Nebraska Association of Trial Attorneys (NATA), and the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). We have the knowledge, experience and toughness to win rightful compensation for people who have been injured or mistreated.
