Workers’ Compensation: It Costs An Arm And A Leg

Over 9 billion tons — that is how much freight is moved across the country each year, according to the American Trucking Associations.

That’s why it might surprise you to find out that the states with the most work-related fatalities for trucks are also the states that are cutting benefits for those truckers’ families. This infographic from law firm Katherman Briggs & Greenberg takes a look at workers’ compensation benefits by state.
