Truck Accident Lawyers – Is The Truck Driver Telling The Truth
Don’t Count on a Gravel Hauling or Dump Truck Driver to Tell the Truth After a Serious Wreck
A lot of opponents line-up against you after a dump truck or gravel hauler accident, beginning with the driver. And since every trucking wreck ends up being a very expensive proposition, the driver understands that he could end up being the fall guy, even if the wreck might not have been his fault. Almost every time, the driver will try and pass the blame for the wreck off on you in order to keep his job.
This is why it’s never a good idea to trust the truck driver to tell the truth if he or she causes an expensive accident. If truck drivers are found to be liable for an accident, not only will they probably be immediately fired, it could become very difficult for them to land a new job after costing his or her previous employer enormous amounts of money in liability claims. Sometimes trucking companies, especially if investigations determine they must share negligence liability, fire the driver with no consideration at all, and then distance themselves from their risk of respondent superior liability by sloughing all the blame on the now-dismissed driver; then hope for the best.
And as we mentioned, for some drivers, gravel and dump truck hauling might be the last stop because they’ve already been fired by an over-the-road company for wrecks, or this is a “newbie driver’s” first wreck and his inexperience was a contributing cause. He too might lose a trucking career right at the start. Be it one or the other, now this poor fellow has to find a new line of work. And with the high unemployment in the U.S., the temptation for that driver to lie, cheat or behave dishonestly to save their job is too great if he wants to keep taking care of his family.
Not long ago, after suffering an injury in a commercial trucking accident in which the driver of the truck claimed that our client was driving with his lights off at night, our investigators quickly examined the scene. They discovered a security camera outside a convenience store that was pointed directly its parking lot and the accident scene behind it. The video clearly showed our client’s headlights shining brightly. We proved that the truck driver boldly lied. Witnesses and defendants can lie and or callously misrepresent critical facts in trucking accident cases.
