Well then don’t pursue a claim either.
You should have a lawyer anyway, but there is enough cost that it isn’t just justified but it is really needed, letting them get away with it is really why we have problems in the industry like this.
you sue for the rent of a trailer, the lost revenue from the accident, the trailer repair, the legal fees and all related costs.
CFI wrecked my trailer. They don’t want to pay for it

Long as you’re not at fault, your insurance won’t go up, via my insurance agent with progressive, since mine was parked to, and in wasn’t in vehicle when it was hit.
If that don’t work, then you’ll have to file lawsuit, keep records, all receipts and the photos.JoeyJunk, Dave_in_AZ and TBlank72 Thank this. -
I’d sue them just for the sport of it……..
Speed_Drums, ProfessionalNoticer, haycarter and 3 others Thank this. -
Do they also get into the driving logs/records? Surely enough time will pass and make that against the law. Not sure.

Intuitively, I feel that trying to be compensated for a potential revenue loss may be too lame, also depending on how much.Unless there are rate confirmations of already booked loads or lined up loads per contract proving that such a loss would have not occurred. But even with that, there is no certainty that the loss would not occur for a million of other reasons.
If I were a perpetrator of the incident, I'd certainly take responsibility for the damage, and perhaps cost of accommodations to finish the load in process but any claims on future, presumed loss, I'd firmly dismiss without qualms. Neither, would I expect that from anyone else, if I was the person with the damaged equipment. I'd simply rely on what insurance would do.
I might be wrong, I'd like to hear a lawyer on that.
Having said that, I do sympathize with the op.
This a horrible situation. And who else but a mega carrier driver?!
