How We Help Truck Accident Victims

If you get hit by an 18-wheeler, both the size and speed of it, the results can be catastrophic.

Trucking companies have a responsibility to hire professionals. After all, they are putting tens of thousands of pounds of force on the road, and you need serious drivers that have the right qualifications and training. I will tell you, 99% of the time, that is not the case.

So, if you look at like FedEx and UPS and Amazon Prime—delivery companies—they are all bidding to get the cheapest price of delivery, right? And so how do they save money to still be profitable and have cheaper deliveries? Well, what do they do?
Kurt Arnold
They’re hiring people that aren’t trained, and they’re not spending the money on their own training programs, and those few drivers that they do have, they push too hard. When you push them too hard, people fall asleep. When you fall asleep, you cause death.

Most companies have got a safety policy and procedure handbook that says that if an accident happens, never admit fault, tell the police officer it was somebody else’s fault.

There’s always a story, okay, and what defeats stories is evidence.
Jason Itkin
We can be out there with our experts making sure that evidence isn’t tampered with.

They can capture it real time, because that evidence disappears.

It is so vitally important that these truck companies get held accountable. Because everyday when we get into our cars, whether you’re driving to the grocery store or you’re driving to pick your kid up from school, it’s our expectation that professional truck drivers are going to behave like professionals.
