Crash Victim Advocacy
Advocacy for Victims of Commercial Truck Accidents
Sign up now and stand united with other victims who have been victimized by illegal operations within the trucking industry. These operations not only undermine safety standards but also lead to severe injuries and injustices for countless individuals on our roads. The public, who have entrusted their safety for decades to our regulatory agencies, are now facing unprecedented risks due to the rise of illegal trucking operations. These operations not only threaten lives but also erode the trust in a system meant to protect us all. Stand with us, and let’s drive change together for safer roads and justice for those injured by these violations.
The Issue at Hand
Commercial truck accidents can lead to catastrophic consequences due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. When these accidents involve drivers without a US CDL, the situation becomes even more complex. Our experts are dedicated to helping your family understand the circumstances around their accident:
- Legal and Safety Implications: Operating a commercial vehicle without a CDL not only violates federal and state laws but also signifies a lack of training and understanding of commercial driving safety protocols.
- Increased Risk: Studies and reports suggest that unlicensed or improperly licensed drivers contribute disproportionately to accidents due to inadequate training, unfamiliarity with vehicle handling, or lack of knowledge about traffic regulations specific to commercial vehicles.
- Communication Barriers: Many of the new drivers today do not possess the ability to read our highway signs and warning signs in English which endangers everyone
Our Advocacy Initiatives
American Truckers United is taking several steps to address these issues:
- Legislative Advocacy: We are pushing for stricter enforcement of CDL requirements across states. This includes advocating for comprehensive background checks, ensuring all commercial drivers have received proper training, and are familiar with both local and federal road safety laws.
- Public Awareness Campaigns: Through our campaigns, we educate the public about the risks associated with commercial vehicles driven by individuals without proper licensing. We aim to increase awareness about the importance of reporting unlicensed commercial drivers.
- Support for Victims: We offer support to victims of such accidents by providing resources for legal aid, expert witnesses, counseling, and guidance through the often complex aftermath of commercial truck accidents. Our aim is to ensure victims receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
- Crisis Response: We want to help you get through this tragic moment in your life. Please reach out to us immediately and we will activate a prayer team on behalf of your family and we will have one of our advocates start working on your situation.
Why This Matters
- Safety First: Our roads are safer when every driver, especially those operating large commercial vehicles, is properly licensed and trained.
- Economic Impact: Reducing accidents involving unlicensed drivers can lower the economic burden on healthcare, legal systems, and insurance premiums.
- Moral Responsibility: Every life lost or injured due to preventable accidents is a tragedy. ATU believes in the moral responsibility to prevent such incidents.
