I was hit by a driver who made an unsafe lane change and drove right into my front end, captured on my cam. I showed the video to the responding officer, and later to Werner safety at a terminal. Safety wanted to charge me with a preventable, require remedial driver training, and a pile of cbts. I told them, Don't bother, I don't work for you anymore. Two weeks later I received the officer's report assigning blame to the other driver. CYA people, because Werner will throw you under the bus.

Werner lost a lawsuit for 90 million when the wreck was 100% the other drivers fault. Do you blame them for being paranoid?
Opus, QuietStorm and Rubber duck kw Thank this. -
I do. The Werner safety team seemed a bit too quick on the draw since it took two weeks for the blame game to be played out.
Prematurely assigning blame didn't earn Werner a dime of that 90 million back. -
You still got the preventable. Check your DAC.
UsualSuspect and x1Heavy Thank this. -
Yep. I am not saying this applies in your case. But an accident that the other driver was determined to be at fault can still be a preventable accident or your part. Is there something that you reasonably could have done to avoid the accident? If so, it is a preventable, regardless of who is at fault.
-
That's not fair.
-
It sounds like you're saying blaming their own driver is Werner's way of covering their own ###. The judgement against Werner was overturned. What do you think would have happened if they had charged their driver in that accident? Overturned verdict? No. You're argument makes no sense.
-
Except it hasn't been overturned yet. It's still going on.
When I posted it was dismissed, I guess that wasn't the end of the case...
