My 1st accident!!:-(

You have no ticket.

The Officer failed to follow procedure (ignored a person who was directly involved with the accident via rear ending the car). Do the sepena stuff as previously mentioned, include sepenaing all documents related to the accident. and any measuring devices/data used. including the officer, and all that jazz as previously stated, including all involved witnesses (those who made witness statements).

Doesn't cost you a dime as mentioned above. (although, I do suppose you gotta pay postage, and for the paper/ink? and bus fair/gas to the place)

 

Baby Just Go To Another Company Small One That Is Because If It Goes On Your DAC Then Bigger Companies Will Disqualify You So Go To A Small One...................

 

In the state of Illinois, the state police are required to attend court.

However, in the event it is missed, the tickets are usually dismissed.

In this situation, you might want an attorney involved to protect your points and ticket.

 

Fight the ticket. Hire a lawyer to represent you if at all possible. Lawyers will get more done than you or I possibly could.

As for driving for an owner op be careful. Owner ops usually do not offer any benefits and will probably try to give you a 1099 form at the end of the year rather than a W2. A 1099 means he classified you as an independent contractor and YOU will be responsible for all the self employment taxes plus federal, state, and local taxes. BEWARE.


P.S. Oh yeah almost forgot you will have to cover your own workers comp (or occupational insurance) if he classifies you as an independent contractor.

 

if you have been off work for more than a week, i would file for unemployment. Chances are that they will fight it but you will get a hearing and the unemployment board will make the decision if you get it or not. They will base your check off of the previous 4 quarters of work and not the present one so if the employer looses it will fall back on to previous employers payments----they pay it in regardless weather you draw it or not

it will help you out until you get your next job

good luck on your next job

 

"Sounds like no job and they are avoiding telling you to avoid unemployment."
Nope, if you get fired you get no unemployment benefits. The company has ample reason to fire her, they are being nice to her hoping that she is smart enough to get another job before all this hits her DAC ets. No potential employer I have never been fired. I am currently employed but work has slowed down to a crawl, and was looking for a more better place to work where I could make more money.

"As a matter of fact the said that the driver that rear ended the girl was doing almost 100 when he hit her and I thought he was going to get at least a speeding ticket but he didnt get anything."
100MPH in what about 50yards in the merging lanes after a toll both. I want that car. When I was 16 I turned left on a highway right in front of a car going almost at full speed, hungover and under the influence of drugs. The car hit my pickup went under it flipped me in the air landed upside down. I almost didnt live threw that. The car that went under me almost got decapitated. Both my 4X pickup and the car were destroyed, completely destroyed. The accident report said she impacted my truck doing apx. 60mph. 100mph accident almost guaranteed to kill someone.

"They are starving you out..."
No they aint, they are being nice to her and giving her a break, she needs to accept there generosity by getting another job fast.

"You have no ticket." Ya she does have a ticket, trust me I read the whole post.

My personal opinion stinks. In an 18 wheeler loaded or empty you will not be doing much more than 45mph when the merging lanes are gone and you are back to the normal interstate. Its a slow process in which you have good visibility on both sides of your trailer. You know what kind of a mess can and probably will happen exiting the toll before you even pull into the toll. When you leave a driver needs to be at 110% alertness seeing and being able to react to anything. Being a professional driver is our job, not getting in accidents even if some stupid ace tries there best to get us into an accident. The consequences be that life, injury, environmental, and monetary of us getting into a wreck are extremely so there is a higher standard on us that is not necessarily fair. But thats our job. I personally dont think you were doing your job at the level it needed to be performed. If you had been doing your job you would not have gotten into an accident that the other person probably caused. I can not see any even close to reasonable reason for a big rig to hit a car regardless of how retarded and stupid the car is when coming out of a toll in the merging lanes. I am certain the court will see it the same way. Very much sorry. Feel really bad for you aint attacking you, just your actions. Best of wishes.

 

Chopper: if I understand it, the employer's rate ranges from 5.3% plus a surchage ranging from 0.4% to 8.9% of all payroll depending on how many people file unemployemnt and whether they have a negative balance based on unemployment claims. So the amount paid could be anything from, say, about 6% of payroll to 14%. For some states an employer gets the option to not pay a percentage but instead to do reimbursement, in which case if someone collects UIC from working for them, then they have to reimburse the state fund for the amount collected. (I copied this from a couple places and tied it all together, didnt write it)


Its alwase in a companies best interest to jack people out of there unemployment benifits. They are more than likely buying time if they have dont have some sort of an "at will employment" contract or just being nice to here. Some are really nice usually those with low employee turnover rates or small business where the owners and managment go out of there way to take care of there employees.

And one more thing if you slip one past the unemployment insurence and gets a claim when they dont qualify for it.Then you are stealing from the state umemployment. Very little makes government madder than people stealing from them, they really really frown upon it.

 

You're not aware at how unemployment works, are you?

You can only collect unemployment through being terminated or laid off. The only time you can't collect unemployment is when an employee voluntarily dismisses themself (quits) or resigns.
