Calling all TTR attorneys and accident investigators

He did the smart thing and destroyed the evidence.

 

But there’s still pictures…

 

The most important thing is that no DOT inspection was done. City Cop, No State Police. Good thing it didn’t get Towed from the accident. That would be reported as a Major. I had a similar accident in NJ. My Truck had to be towed, only because the hood wouldn’t close. The result was a DOT audit. Towed Vehicle or a trip in an Ambulance is criteria for a Major. Chances are the Court will be so jammed up, a Lawyer can get the ticket changed to an equipment violation, or ? They’ll do it to lighten up the days Court Docket. Sometimes the Lawyer will get it postponed once or twice, till they make a deal. Won’t even go in front of a Judge. I’ve beat tickets that way by showing up early. Keeping DL clean. Hopefully Safety Score is unaffected. Probably cost a big fine. Usually that’s how it works. TVC or any of the Lawyers Services can get the ticket reduced, sometimes to a non moving violation. Video, pictures etc. Jury Trial etc.Thats not happening for a minor accident no injuries. I would get a copy of the accident report. Just to make sure it’s accurate.

 

maybe the 2 wrecks are way different. but the damage is about the same. body work isnt cheap . even a half assed job isnt cheap

 

Fair enough, im not saying his frame couldnt be shot, but getting rolled over vs rolling we should expect a different kind of repair in damaged components (even if price *could* be similar)

 

Maybe. But even know i rolled there wasnt much. Heres some pics.




They billed the insurance company almost 40k for that. Most of it was labor. But any body work done on these new rigs , to do it correctly they had to repaint the entire passanger side of the truck and all of the hood. No structural damage at all. That price was all body work.

 

Awww, itll buff out... you coulda just gone intermodal and pocketed the payment youd fit right in then

 

I'm thinking his trucker attorney needs a few moar hours of night school.

 

$3200 just to get me rolling. Let’s see how much is bodywork

 

Best of luck to you!
