Truckers Who Cause Wrecks Continue to Injure You Long After the Accident
A lot of opponent interests are at stake after a big rig accident: the drivers, the company the driver works for, the owner of the cargo and the insurance companies that cover all of them all. Since every trucking wreck ends up being a very expensive proposition, your opponents need to have a fall guy. The first one in line is the driver. And most every time, the driver knows this and tries to pass the blame off to you in order to keep his job. You’re a very convenient fall-guy, especially if you’re seriously injured and incapable of defending yourself at the accident scene from what the trucker might say.
This is why it’s never a good idea to trust the truck driver to tell the truth after causing an expensive accident. If the truck driver is found to be liable for an accident, not only will they be fired, it could become very difficult to land a new job after costing his or her previous employer enormous amounts of money in liability claims. Sometimes trucking companies try to get out in front of the blame, especially if investigations determine they must share negligence liability. They’ll fire the driver outright. Then they scurry to distance themselves from their liability by sloughing all of it on the now-dismissed driver in hopes of avoiding respondeat superior.
This also might not be the driver’s first wreck at the wheel of a big rig and he might lose either (or both of) his state trucking driver’s license, or DOT certification. So now this pitiful wretch has to find a new line of work in a down economy. And with high unemployment in the U.S., the temptation for that driver to lie, cheat or behave dishonestly to save their measly job is too great if he wants to keep taking care of his family.
