Is an employer responsible for safety and security when you are on the road hours from home and have an accident, when said employer agrees to ha e you driven back to home town? My employer at the time of my cmv accident in Danville, IL agreed to have me brought back to Davenport, IA where the truck would be parked and I could get home. In the midst of doing so they proceeded to have me abandoned in Morton, IL for no less than six and a half hours to await a second driver in a Volvo day cab that can be ran for no more than five minutes before shutting itself down, at a truck stop with no where to safely sit and wait for my ride. At every point I called dispatch they informed me it would be shortly when someone would be there. During this time frame I was suffering from a concussion, and possibility of hemeraging, with definite head trauma. I am personally fealing that their is a law suit here somewhere.
