Ohio State Police playing politics cost me my CDL

You haven't given enough information to make a conclusion here.

All I see is a picture of a car under the side of a box truck. I would need more pictures from all angles and to see the police report complete with drawings and/or measurements.

 

Have you talked to a lawyer?

 

looks like that was very hard hit
just by the pics it is pretty hard to say what happened--my uneducated guess would be the car ran the light before it turned green on the right of truck--as it was turniing left---the car had to be going pretty quick for that damage--sure doesnt look like the truck pulled in front of a car goingopposite direction--just judging by the angle of the car to angle of truck

 

I am looking at the damage to the car and I draw a different conclusion, it looks to me like the car drove in under the front of the curb side duals and then spun around.

Both of the duals are flat, the car would have had to hit at an angle to be able to hit and damage both tires. As well from the damage to the vehicle it appears as though the brunt of the damage is to the passenger side indicating the vehicle was under the passenger side of the truck.

I will say though it looks like the car was hauling ###, and was probably driving way too fast, and if it was the type of wreck I think it was, the driver did not react, which means he was probably very distracted.

 

I hate to play devils advocate here, but I see nothing from any of these images to prove either side had a red/green. The truck could have been speeding through a red just as easy as the car.....just saying....

 

thats kinda what i thought as well--pretty hard to tell who had the light--going to be a he said she said thing----
must have been witnesses tho

 

I don't chime in much here, but I will give you my perspective as a Commercial Auto adjuster (I wear a white hat basically). I am presuming that the attorney referenced was supplied by the insurance carrier for the trucking company. The trucking company's interests and yours are sometimes not always in alignment. I have not heard before that the data is not admissible, to the contrary, it is critical to the defense of the claim. The trucking company and the insurance company's interests are also not always aligned. The insurance company wants to minimize their exposure ($) and sometimes don't always retain the best attorney, as again, it is an expense/exposure thing. I would check with TIDA (Trucking Insurance Defense Association) to see if this could be overturned on appeal. Also, was this representation for a citation or over the claims of the other party. This is important as if you obtain a favorable ruling (dismissal) on any citation, it helps the trucking/insurance company defend any claims presented against the other party. It would be helpful what the citation or citations were for as well that were being defended. You are always entitled to your own representation, not just what the trucking /insurance company provides you but I do realize this may not be financially possible (I'm a working guy too). Again, just my two cents worth and not trying to stir anybody up.
