"Don't put your hand anywhere you wouldn't put your pecker"
-- some old timer
I think this accident could have been prevented had he had the guidance of some old timer. -

I hate to tell you driver but u took all responsibility for that load when u signed the BOL saying it was in good condition. The only case u got is if it was a sealed trailer.

The dude is just now suing for an incident that happened in 2016?
tommymonza Thanks this. -
Sounds more like he should have filed for workmans comp, IMHO
tommymonza and buddyd157 Thank this. -
Sounds like a bunch of he said, she said. For all we know he could have caused a load shift enroute.
tommymonza and buddyd157 Thank this. -
then, once you do, again in MY state, you cannot sue anyone
i have been thru at least one w/c claim in my life, so i can ONLY speak from the law in MY state.
further, like someone else said, "you sign it, you own it"
he could have asked to exam the load, before it was sealed, or he could have asked to inspect it, and they break the seal and re-seal it. -
This is one of the reasons why I always put on my BOLs:
“Shipper Loaded,Counted & Sealed”and either:
“Preloaded Trailer-Seal Intact” or
“Live Loaded-Driver Not Allowed On Dock”,
it solves a lot of liability issues and if there is a load shift or other issue I take photos and send them to the claims department. I wonder if the driver did file a workman’s comp with his employer,only to get turned down.TheLoadOut and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
Sounds like another phony case.
