I saw a post on here similar to my situation so I thought I'd make my own post.
About 2 years ago I was a company driver at my old company and was driving a dump truck. Stopped at a stop sign and crossed the road, here comes this dude probably doing 55 in a 35 up over a hill and slams into me. He had his daughter in his truck, it totaled his f250 and barely did anything to the dump truck, i was at fault to begin with but that was thrown out, by TVC. Long story short i left the company on so-so terms and now I am OTR driving a semi.
I wasnt home today but at my house I got served papers, they are trying to sue me and the company, this is all about 18 months later. What do I do here? I am freaking out, i just feel so defeated when it inmes to trucking, I love it but all the BS we have to deal with, is it really worth it? I just got side swiped 2 weeks ago and now this comes back to haunt me. The daughter was fine, just shaken up.
Do I contact my old company? Do I look into getting a lawyer that I can't afford? On the paper it has all these questions like do I wear contacts, they are asking about my medication, they are asking about my criminal history. I am trying to do right here, but I feel defeated. Has this happened to anyone? What would you do in my shoes, remember the guy hit me, i was at fault at first, but thst got thrown out.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
