Question: Company Driver Personal Legal Protection in case of on the job collision

I wouldn't depend on your company to bail you out. And believe me, there is no such thing as "judgement proof." Sure they will go after the "deep pockets" where they can. But they also name anybody and everybody they can think of in a law suit. So you don't own a mansion? Maybe you live in a 1955 travel trailer and pull it with a 1973 Buick. They'll do their best to take that from you. Seriously.

Now I don't believe in these prepaid legal scams where you pay them a set amount every (whatever) quarter, year, month, week, day, minute etc. But what you do need to have is an idea of who you might want as an attorney to represent you in a tort action.

The sad fact is, that your company will do everything in their power to cut their own losses, and they could care less about their employes. And then you have the other end of it as well. Most of the time, if you have a serious at fault accident, you will lose your job. Insurance companies demand it.

The whole thing is run by the dirt bag insurance outfits and scam attorneys.

I'm not being bitter here, just apprising you of some of the facts of life.

 

I'm also curious about this one. Some of these prepaid legal companies sound legit but how good are they really? are there any worth having because i like to keep myself covered. it's easier to pay $20-40 a month than it is to pay $500-$5000 once every 10 years. My company suggested U.S.Legal services but it's such a generic name that it's nearly impossible to find reviews on. Anyone know of any companies that actually live up to what they claim?

 

I have a judgment case and my question is are their any companies that will accept someone like me on a contract to repay them as a driver for them with a monthly payment???

 

Can't you put everything property,bank accounts ect. in a living trust.
Its my understanding only the tax man can touch a living trust. I could be way off here but I swear I read it in a legal article.

And no I'm not a lawyer i didn't even sleep in a holiday inn last night.

 

I hate it when I forget to look at the date of a thread before I post

 

Actually, it's a good question that I and probably a lot of other people would like to know the answer to, so it's worth reviving. One accident could ruin you financially if a severe injury or death occurs. The job isn't really worth it if you can lose everything with one stroke of bad luck.

 

I wouldn't worry about reviving an old thread, as long as it's a worth while subject. Now if it nothing more than a crying session about how mean the big bad company was to poor little billy big rigger, then it likely isn't worth reviving...
