Nearly 4,000 Americans are killed every year in truck crashes. This escalating safety issue is driven by an economic model that is fundamentally unsound. Truck drivers – compensated by miles driven, not hours worked – are pushed to ignore safety measures, delay repairs, and drive in a fatigued state. In April, one of the hall of lawsuit hypocrites, FedEx, was involved in a deadly crash involving multiple vehicles, which killed a bus driver along with several high school students and their chaperones in a fiery collision. The civil justice system is vital in holding negligent trucking companies accountable, and provides justice to those killed or injured by unsafe trucks. If trucking companies are not accountable, the safety and financial security of all motorists are at risk. ow.ly/DKtzQ
