Being a truck driver comes with many challenges. Besides long hours on the road, you also have to deal with the heavy traffic around New York and bad weather. However, one of the biggest challenges is dealing with injuries.

In the beginning of May, The Travelers Companies, Inc. released an official Injury Impact Report that has made big news in New York and around the country. What the organization found was that, as far as workers’ compensation claims, it doesn’t matter how old an employee is or how much previous experience they have in their respective industry. If it is the individual’s first year working at that particular job, they are considerably more likely to be injured.
