✅ What to do if you believe the report is inaccurate
✅ Why additional investigation is often critical in truck crash cases

A trucking company is declared unsafe and shut down. Weeks later, it's back on the road under a new name and a new DOT number. It's a tactic known as a "chameleon carrier," and these companies are 3 to 4 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash.
⠀
In this episode of After the Crash: Ask David, Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David W. Craig explains how outdated federal insurance minimums may contribute to the problem and why increasing those requirements could encourage insurers to more carefully evaluate the trucking companies they insure.
⠀
Watch the episode to learn how this scheme works, why it continues to happen, and what reforms could help stop it.

A settlement is not the finish line. It's the first step to protecting your future.
⠀
After a serious truck wreck changes your life, winning your case is only part of the journey. Once a settlement is reached, important questions often remain:
⠀
❔ Who will negotiate your medical liens and disability policy liens?
❔ Who will help plan for lifelong care?
❔ Who will make sure there is enough money to take care of your family?
⠀
Many law firms focus solely on resolving the case. We believe our responsibility extends beyond the settlement.
⠀
How you choose to spend your money is entirely up to you. But after a life-changing truck crash, you deserve experienced guidance, support, and resources to help you make informed decisions.
⠀
Because a successful case isn't just about recovering compensation, it's about helping you protect what comes next.

Semi-trucks still carry the same $750,000 minimum insurance they did in 1980.
⠀
Cars cost $7,200 back then. Now they're $49,000. Eggs were $0.84. Now they're $4.95. Medical costs have shot up 686% since 1980.
⠀
But truck insurance? Still frozen at 1980 levels.
⠀
➡️ If truck insurance had kept pace with medical inflation, it would be over $5 million today.
⠀
I've handled hundreds of these cases where families face medical bills that dwarf what trucking companies are required to carry. The math doesn't add up when someone's fighting for their life.
⠀
💬 Should minimum truck insurance requirements reflect today's medical costs?

In order to drive a commercial motor vehicle, like a semi-truck, aspiring drivers are required to earn their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Previously, those seeking a CDL would be required to attend a state-licensed CDL school and participate in a comprehensive training program to ensure they fully understand how to safely operate a heavy truck. However, a regulatory shift in 2022 allows anyone to register themselves as a CDL instructor, leading to a major increase in the number of new drivers who are not truly qualified to operate their vehicles.
⠀
This change comes directly from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which introduced a self-certification database for CDL instructors, which does not utilize any screening processes to determine if those registering are properly qualified or if they adhere to state mandates for licensing. Now, prospective drivers who may not know what type of program to look for when researching CDL schools could go through a “CDL mill” without realizing it.

Following a devastating semi crash, it is important to make sure your family is protected against so-called “victim advocate” groups. They contact victims, pretending to offer help, but often work behind the scenes with law firms.
⠀
This kind of contact is not only unethical, it is also illegal in Missouri. You deserve a team that works for justice, not a referral scheme.
⠀
Would you know the warning signs if someone tried to take advantage of you after a serious truck crash? Nationally recognized truck accident attorney David Craig breaks down 4 major red flags that every semi crash victim and their family should know.
⠀
🚩 Red Flag 1: Lead Generation Companies
🚩 Red Flag 2: Fake "Victim Advocacy" Groups
🚩 Red Flag 3: Healthcare Workers Steering You Toward a Lawyer
🚩 Red Flag 4: Insurance Recommending a Doctor
⠀
These are real issues that can impact your case, your recovery, and the decisions you make in the days following a crash.
⠀
Watch the full video to learn what these red flags look like, why they matter, and how to protect yourself after a serious truck accident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGOAwo8JfS0
