Accident Question

If you're talking about dac or hire right, u can dispute it, but since u said u have no memory to what happen....well there's goes your open argument

 

Happy to hear your ok. If I was you I would dispute the claim
and hopefully the company doesn't respond in the 30 days necessary.

 

What you have to remember is that the steering failed. It was a mechanical failure because of poor maintenance done by the Company. While the accident was preventable it was only preventable by the uncaring negligent company. Look into my eyes, you are getting sleepy, when you wake up, you will remember it was the companies fault.

 

Not to be the red herring,.. but if something like steering failure,.. shouldnt that have been caught during a pre-trip?

I cant imagine something like that not being able to be detected by proper inspection.

Not pointing fingers,.. but if I can think of this,.. so would someone else.

I've had drivers tell me that they have bad brakes or other dangerous issues with their truck. Yet I see them still driving it. If you knowingly drive a truck with mechanical issues and wreck,.. the driver is at fault.

Not everything can be caught during a pre-trip. Case in point, company I worked for about 4 years ago bought a bunch of new Ram cab and chassis trucks. One guy rolled one into the ditch one night. He said he turned the wheel and nothing happened. A vehicle inspection revealed the steering box had failed internally, causing a loss of steering. He was absolved of fault because of that. There was no way even a very thorough pre trip would have caught that.

 

Was it a Volvo?

 

Rollovers are generally preventable. Probably compounded with 5000 or more in damage.

Im going to go easy on you this morning because you do not recall the details leading to the roll over.

Once in a while something breaks really badly (For lack of a better term) really fast. If you can some how retrieve the report made post roll over to that particular truck, it may hold the clues to repairs made.

Sometimes it's totaled.

Most of the time... roll overs simply are preventable because we are the first and last line of a defense against a roll over.

Good luck to you.
