Mike you are such a daft f*kker and I would definitely say that to your face in a crowd. Bring it on Puss.
However because you clearly have an intellectual handicap:
The heavier the tow vehicles and trailers are, the harder they are to stop and the more force they have when striking a car, a person or another object. Overloads also mean more wear and tear on equipment, increasing the possibility that a truck or trailer causes an accident by breaking down or blowing a tire.
Filing a Negligence Claim Against a Driver
A driver that allows a vehicle to be operated with loads beyond the mandatory limits is legally responsible for any accidents that result. This is true whether an overload caused the equipment to fail or the weight of the overloaded vehicle made the accident more severe.
In most cases, an accident victim can hold a defendant liable for an accident based on the theory of negligence. In order to prove negligence, the injured person (the plaintiff ) has to show that the person or entity being sued (the defendant) breached what the law calls a “duty of care” that was owed to the plaintiff. Drivers of tow vehicles have a responsibility to adhere to all federal and state regulations as well as taking reasonable precautions when loading and securing trailers and operating their vehicles. Thus, a breach of the duty of care happens when a truck driver carelessly allows a trailer to be overloaded or decides to further break the regulations by exceeding the towing capacity of the truck. In these instances an investigation will readily prove that the negligent overloading or other careless behavior was the direct cause of the accident. This will always result in any insurance claims presented by the defendant being denied. In the event of a resulting death, the defendant may face criminal charges, as well. Once this has been proven, the victim can present to the Court any quantifiable damages that were sustained as a result of the accident. These can range from economic costs, like damaged property repairs or replacement, hospital bills and missed wages, to more subjective types of damages like pain and suffering.
Because fact does not influence your opinion, forward this to your lawyer for verification.
On the accident report they called it reckless driving. State Farm covered it.
