Can I collect Workers Compensation for stress and other mental problems arising from work?
Yes, you may be able to recover for such conditions. However, there is a wide variance in the types of mental conditions that are covered by the Workers Compensation Acts. Some states allow for recovery for all stress/mental type conditions. Other states require some sort of physical injury to be involved before stress can be compensated.

As with other aspects of trucking injuries, a careful review of various state jurisdictions is critical for an injured trucker to receive proper compensation.
