A Louisville teenaged girl survived going under this semi that was going 45 mph. She claimed she looked down at her "speedometer" and then saw the semi. She never hit the brakes. Some lawyer will make it the semis fault.![]()

The semi should have maintained proper distance in all directions.

Driver, how long was your pretrip that morning? According to my Elogs, it was 17 minutes. So, had you done a 15 minute pretrip, then your truck wouldn’t have been there for my client to hit.
Your honor I move for a judgement against the trucking company. He is riding down the road in a vehicle that’s barely visible being 13’6 high, and only 8.5 feet wide. He only had reflectors at the top corners, the bottom of the doors, and the dot bumper, not to mention four taillights. I think we all would have hit him in that situation your honor.Lab work, intrepidor, Oldironfan and 17 others Thank this. -
DOT bumper missing on that trailer?
Oldironfan Thanks this. -
Your talents are wasted driving. Litigation is your true calling. Well done counselor .Lab work, Trucker61016, Oldironfan and 8 others Thank this.

Good question (and obsevation). The trailer tires are off the ground. Maybe they are designed with some "give". If it had not folded or sheared she may have been decapitated.

By "speedometer" she just meant "phone"
Big Trip, IH Truck Guy, BoostedTeg and 25 others Thank this. -
it was just a flashback to those good old days when you would not want to see those cars tearing off the mudflaps..

Georgia has a new phone law starting today. No phone in hand. Period. I hope every state does it. Now they hold them low on their lap so people can't see them texting. This makes it even worse because they are looking down, probably like this girl.Trucker61016, misterG, tech10171968 and 3 others Thank this.

I represented a client versus Werner. My client crossed the interstate and hit his truck, and we still won. I am thinking this case could be worth millions to me.
