I believe you mean when law enforcement takes bribes or plays the race card. They, however, keep you and all the rest of us safe and help out when we are in danger. They put their neck on the line for you, I, and the rest if us, be lucky they are around.

Try that see how it works out for you

Sometimes the cops cant do anything. Not all the time can there be a ticket written when they didnt see what happened or have proof of whos fault it was. And it could have been the trailer and not either of the drivers, empty trailers like going all over the road because they weigh nothing. Contact insurance and they will pay for it, simple as that. News wont give a shit fyi.

yes the driver did something negligent, he changed lanes recklessly and could have caused someone to get seriously injured. If OP had died, that would have been vehicular homicide even if the bastard didn't know he did it. The guy deserved a ticket, on top of that most insurance companies want the cops to denote who was at fault before they pay anything to either party.

It'll still get written at fault of the guy in the truck. Before you go crazy about how he was reckless, do you know if OP didn't speed up or do something else stupid?

have you ever towed a trailer, they are usually either heavy where you may not feel the thump of hitting something and if the cop couldn't prove the driver knew he hit something he may have not been able to write a ticket.

Finally someone else who understands what it's like to pull a trailer. Unless the car hitting the trailer hits it really hard, like to a point they aren't driving away, a really heavy trailer isn't going to transfer that to the truck, if it does it'll feel like a bump in the road. If this was a Semi like most people seem to be assuming it is, chances are he won't ever feel it.

what can you sue them for.

Absolutely nothing

Thats the problem now, sue this sue that. SHUT IT! Just because you have a problem and someone cant help you out doesnt mean you sue them. Just because the 16 yearold kid at mc donalds gives you a size fry to small and forgets the straw do you sue them? Its a problem for the insurance, not the cops.

Have you ever driven anything with a heavy trailer? Unless you actually see the impact you will not feel it, don't be comparing it to hitting a kid, it makes you look stupid.

Jesus christ. If you have ever driven with a loaded trailer through populated areas, the truck or car cant stop on a dime. If you slam on the breaks infront of a loaded trailer, it jackknives. And the kid running out in the middle of the road, sorry but if he gets hit thats his fault or the parents fault for not keeping an eye on him. Trucks dont stop like a little malibu or prius, so even tho the truck hits its breaks they might not come to a stop for another 700 feet or more. And futher, adding the kid thing was totally irrelevant.
