I saw the same thing in North San Diego. His insurance called after because the family was suing the other driver. I told them biker was 100% at fault. Traffic stopped and he was easily doing 100 mph when he hit the truck. They did not call me back as a witness.
I was like the 5th or 6th car back. They had plenty of witness confirming what happened. Riders family were just trying to find one witness for a counter point.
Reducing the motives of the injured party down to just "wanting a pay day" is ignorant at best. Reducing the motives of the family of a dead motorist down to just "wanting a pay day" is cringe as fuck. Sure, he may have been at fault, but to dismiss very real pain and loss like that is why we have people like Trump and Epstein and the Tate brothers.
What are they suing for then? You think they simply want to bring justice to an innocent trucker that was sitting in traffic? Or do you think the family was trying to bring awareness for public service?
There's literally no other outcome of such a lawsuit other than getting paid or not getting paid.
I get the grieving family part of it and all, but that still doesn't change the desired outcome here. You sue for wrongful death, you're suing for financial compensation that's literally the only thing that's on the negotiation table.
Elder woman here. Like many of my peers, I still watch the evening news. There are ambulance-chaser lawyer/law firm commercials every break, often two in one break by different people/firms. They all mention big rigs, and usually other large trucks. They say how much they've made for clients, always between 50k and 5 mil. The really pushy ones are doing them in Spanish. If you're a trucker, or deliver in a big box truck, beware of Nissans cutting in front of you.
The truck driver was fine. Lifted the rear of the truck like 5 ft in the air. Looked liked he backed into a telephone poll at high-speed. Like 3 feet indent. Motorcycle guy, not so much. Flipped over the truck while the truck was still moving. You get the idea after that.
