I'm with Troopertotrucker, and I think it's darn good we have someone like that on "our" side. Sounds like you've had a stretch of bad luck, didn't you post some other problem a while back. You want to fight this, for something pretty cut and dry, go ahead and feed that lawyer machine, but as long as I've been driving, you run into something, with VERY few exceptions, it's your fault. In 3 million miles, I never ran into the back of anything,,,

Without pictures, we can't actually know what is what.

OP...your company will stand by you until it becomes clear that you're in the wrong. At that point they will throw you under the bus.
Get a lawyer. He can do some damage control for you but you need to get ready for some aggravating and expensive time off.Tonythetruckerdude, sevenmph, x1Heavy and 5 others Thank this. -
Sorry for your misfortune, but it appears you chose poorly.
A split second decision is tough.
Dash-cam would have explained why U chose the ditch.

That leads me to wonder about weather conditions and how hard it was raining. I personally don’t regard 60 mph in rain as a particularly big deal UNLESS it’s coming down so hard your wipers can’t keep up with it.Tonythetruckerdude, Bean Jr., PE_T and 2 others Thank this. -
Well, apparently you stopped in same place. How many cars & trucks piled up in wreck behind you ?

PE_T and brian991219 Thank this.

Hate to say it, but if all of the other traffic was slowing (at 35 mph or less with hazard lights on, according to you) or stopping because of severe weather and you were in the left lane hauling arse, you're at fault. Quit driving like an entitled jerk. You could've killed someone.
peterd, cjb logistics, Snakeschasingcars and 5 others Thank this.
