Truck Accident Defense Training
The Ultimate Defense Against Predatory Plaintiffs
This is one of the most litigious countries in the world, and in hard economic times, ambulance chasers and “get rich quick” four-wheelers will look for any excuse to target your company.
Stephen Setliff, a top transportation defense attorney and leading industry expert, created The Ultimate Defense training course to teach transportation companies like yours what to do before and after an accident to make them more defendable when the worst happens.
His techniques help trucking companies cover their assets. Are you covered?
This 2-part series teaches managers, drivers, and other critical departments the steps they can take before and after an accident to defend against outrageous lawsuits.
The best defense measures take place before an accident even happens. Learn the policies, procedures, communications, and public relations tactics your company should have in place NOW.
Evidence starts walking away the moment an accident happens. Teach your drivers what to document and how to behave to give your lawyer a fighting chance to defend both your company and your driver.
Accident reconstruction, FOIA requests, social media documentation, equipment maintenance records, and driver training participation are just a few pieces of evidence you’ll need to gather. Learn what you’ll need to build your case.
Everything you did (or didn’t do) is frozen in time and can be used as evidence. What story do you want that evidence to tell?
Do you want it to show that you’re a reputable company that cares about your employees, the community, and the motoring public? That you took reasonable, proactive steps to prevent and prepare everyone in your company?
Or do you want it to show that you were negligent. That you sent an 80,000 lb vehicle onto the roads of your community with mothers, children, and grandparents knowing there were gaps in your safety, all while telling the world “Safety is Our #1 Concern”?
THINK AGAIN
We see it all the time. People who put their head in the sand because they think those crazy nuclear verdicts in the headlines won’t happen to them. “It’s a one in a million chance,” they say.
Well guess what, statistically speaking, it’s only a matter of time. In 2022, over 126,000 large trucks were involved in accidents with fatalities or injuries. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of other crashes that resulted in physical damages.
When it happens to you, it may not be huge, it may not cause bodily harm or loss of life, but it WILL be scrutinized by greasy billboard lawyers who think you’re good for a big payout.
“Innocent until proven guilty” doesn’t apply to trucking in the court of public opinion. Are you really willing to put your company, your livelihood, and the lives of your employees on the line? That’s one hell of a gamble.
Think you’re immune to targeted lawsuits for CMV accidents? Don’t forget that Coca-Cola was hit with a $21 MILLION judgement in an accident involving one of their trucks. The driver was chatting on the phone while driving, and Coca-Cola couldn’t prove that she had been given their cell phone policy that prohibited using a device while driving.
1. If they can’t beat a case like that, you probably can’t either.
2. The case isn’t lost at the time of accident. The case is lost in your policies, communications, training, hiring practices, etc. in the months and sometimes years before the accident even happens.
3. You can’t afford to chance it. This course will uncover your risk areas and teach you how to best prepare your company and employees to prevent accidents and protect what you’ve built if an accident does happen.
