Fighting for Justice After a Trucking Accident: When the Police Get It Wrong
A Crash That Shouldn’t Have Happened
Michael was driving down a rural road in San Antonio when a semi-truck suddenly pulled out of a private property, blocking the entire lane. With no time to stop, Michael’s car crashed into the side of the truck, leaving his vehicle heavily damaged.
Thankfully, Michael walked away without serious injuries. But when the police arrived and filed their report, they placed most of the blame on him—despite the truck driver failing to yield. To make matters worse, the trucking company’s insurance refused to pay for the damages, claiming that Michael was at fault.
Frustrated and unsure where to turn, Michael contacted Kerstin Carabin and the team at Carabin Law. He needed someone who would fight for the truth and hold the trucking company accountable.
Why Police Reports Often Blame the Wrong Driver
It’s shocking, but this happens all the time—a private driver gets blamed for a trucking accident, even when the semi-truck driver was clearly at fault.
🚛 Why does this happen?
✔ Trucking companies have aggressive insurance defense teams that push their version of events.
✔ Police officers don’t always have the full picture, relying on quick roadside assessments.
✔ Crash reports aren’t the final word—they can be challenged with evidence.
At Carabin Law, we know that just because a police report assigns fault doesn’t mean it’s accurate. That’s why we conduct our own in-depth investigation to get the truth.
