    Ep. 87 - Collision Tech, Ghost Drivers & Hidden Liability || After the Crash Podcast

    Every year, more than 5,000 people are killed and over 100,000 are seriously injured in crashes involving large commercial trucks. A lot of those crashes were preventable. Not because the technology didn't exist, but because someone made a deliberate choice not to pay for it. In this episode of After the Crash, David Craig, one of only four attorneys in Indiana Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, sits down with trial attorney J. Kent Emison of Langdon & Emison to talk about what really happens after a truck crash, and what most families never find out. Kent has handled catastrophic truck, product liability, and wrongful death cases across the country, and he brings deep technical knowledge about the safety systems that should be on these trucks. ✔️ A government study tracked over 3 million miles and 6,000 automatic emergency braking activations, and found zero crashes resulting from those events ✔️ Paccar published data in 2003 showing one second of warning could prevent 90% of rear-end truck accidents, yet two-thirds of trucks on the road today still lack these systems ✔️ The manufacturer's cost to add collision mitigation technology is between $97 and $200 per truck, yet it's marked up over 600% and sold as an optional add-on that buyers routinely delete ✔️ Trucking companies deploy rapid response teams to crash scenes, sometimes before injured victims have been removed ✔️ Ghost drivers, predatory freight brokers, and the economics that push small carriers to cut corners ✔️ Reflective tape, underride guards, load shifts, and maintenance failures, the hidden causes that vanish if you don't investigate immediately One detail from this episode is hard to shake. Kent describes a situation where a truck company showed up at the scene before the investigating officer was finished, while the injured victim was still in the hospital. The truck company was actively working to shape the report. That's not a rare exception. It's a documented pattern. 👉 Key takeaway: The crash is just the beginning. What happens in the hours and days after determines whether the full truth ever comes out. — 00:00 – Welcome & Why Evidence Disappears Fast 00:53 – Introducing J.

    Ep. 86 - Settlement Videos: The Power of the Client's Story || After the Crash Podcast

    What if the most powerful evidence in a personal injury case isn't a medical report or an expert opinion, but the story told by the people who watched someone's life change forever? Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig sits down with Bobby Craig of Impact Video to pull back the curtain on settlement documentaries and explain why they've become one of the most effective tools in serious injury and wrongful death cases. In this episode of After the Crash, David and Bobby break down exactly what goes into creating a settlement documentary, from the initial planning meetings with the legal team all the way through interviews, editing, and final delivery. Bobby Craig, co-owner of Impact Video, has produced hundreds of these documentaries for law firms across the country. He got his start working alongside David at Craig, Kelley & Faultless, where he learned firsthand how telling a client's story with the right approach can fundamentally shift how a case is evaluated by insurance adjusters, defense attorneys, and claims decision-makers. ✔️ What a settlement documentary is and how it differs from a standard legal video ✔️ Why before-and-after witnesses often matter more than medical records alone ✔️ How a passionate expert on camera can transform a case's perceived value ✔️ The role of music, lighting, editing, and B-roll in communicating real emotion without exaggeration ✔️ Why defense lawyers have directly told David that settlement videos change how they evaluate cases David Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, accredited by the American Bar Association. With 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases and catastrophic injury claims, David brings a depth of experience that shapes every part of how his firm prepares a case, including the decision of when and how to invest in a settlement documentary. That experience is exactly why a defense attorney once told David, off the record, to keep making these videos because they genuinely shift how claims professionals assess a case. 👉 Key takeaway: A written report tells the defense what happened, but a settlement documentary shows them what it felt like, and that difference can reshape the entire outcome of a case. — 00:00 – Why the Client's Story Matters More Than Paper 01:04 – What Is a Settlement Documentary & Who Makes Them? 03:38 – The Goal: Communicating Damages More Effectively Than Reports 05:12 – Who Gets Interviewed: Before & After Witnesses and Experts 06:28 – When a Doctor's Passion on Camera Changes Everything 07:17 – Why the Defense Needs to See Your Witnesses Before Trial 09:32 – Planning the Story: How Interviews Reveal the Unexpected 11:08 – When a "Bad" Witness Turns Out to Be the Best One 12:29 – Defense Lawyers Confirm: Settlement Videos Make a Difference 14:24 – How Long Should a Settlement Documentary Be? 15:20 – Photos, Videos & Assets: What Families Should Provide 17:13 – Day in the Life Videos: Capturing Rehab and the New Reality 18:37 – Why David Goes to Every Scene, Inspection & Deposition 21:06 – Music, Lighting & Editing: The Invisible Tools of Emotion 23:15 – How Much Time Does a Settlement Video Actually Take? 27:09 – B-Roll Gone Wrong: Cornfields, Bad Music & Losing Credibility 30:28 – Building a Foundation: Why Expertise Beats Fancy Equipment 33:09 – Why You Should Ask Your Lawyer About a Settlement Video — If you or someone you know has been involved in a truck crash, don't wait.

    Ep. 85 - Chameleon Carriers: The Worst Trucking Companies on the Road || Ask David Podcast

    Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig exposes one of the most dangerous schemes in the trucking industry: chameleon carriers. These are trucking companies that dodge government shutdowns by changing their name, getting a new DOT number, and putting the same dangerous trucks back on the road. They're 3 to 4 times more likely to cause a fatal wreck. In this episode of Ask David, David sits down with Litigation Supervisor Ashley Napier to break down how chameleon carriers operate and why they're so hard to catch. They walk through real cases, including the McGill case near North Vernon, Indiana, where an insurance company helped a failing trucking company reorganize under a new name. The barn still had the old company name painted on it. Same trucks, same faulty brakes. Those brakes failed, killing two people. ✔️ What chameleon carriers are and how they rebrand to avoid shutdowns ✔️ Why they're 3 to 4 times more likely to cause fatal wrecks ✔️ The McGill case: how an insurer helped a dangerous carrier reorganize ✔️ Why federal insurance minimums haven't been raised since the 1980s ✔️ How raising minimums to $5 million would force better screening ✔️ What to look for when investigating a chameleon carrier wreck David Craig is one of only four attorneys in Indiana who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, accredited by the American Bar Association. He has 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases. 👉 Key takeaway: Chameleon carriers dodge shutdowns by rebranding with new names and DOT numbers, putting the same dangerous trucks back on the road, and they're 3 to 4 times more likely to cause fatal wrecks. — 00:00 – Chameleon Carriers Are 3-4x More Likely to Cause Fatal Wrecks 02:01 – What Is a Chameleon Carrier? 03:06 – Same Company, New DOT Number: How the Scheme Works 03:46 – The McGill Case: Insurance Company Helped a Carrier Rebrand 04:57 – Driver Refused to Drive a Truck with Bad Brakes & Got Fired 05:51 – Owner Drove the Dangerous Truck Himself & Killed Two People 07:37 – The William Cod Case: Carrier Changed Identity After the Wreck 09:15 – What to Look for When Investigating These Cases 10:04 – Why Minimum Insurance Limits Help Chameleon Carriers Survive 12:01 – Raising Insurance Minimums: How It Forces Better Screening 14:38 – Red Flags When Insurance Pushes Quick Settlements 15:43 – Good Truckers vs. Bad Truckers: Finding Common Ground — Why Listen to After the Crash?

    Ep. 84 - CDL Instructor Exposes Driver Training Failures || After the Crash Podcast

    Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig sits down with "Trucker Steve," a CDL instructor with over 50 years of driving experience, to expose the broken reality of today's CDL training system. Steve spent 30 years at UPS before becoming a CDL instructor. He reveals how CDL schools exploit loopholes to push students through inadequate programs. From self-certification scams to 1:10 instructor-to-student ratios, these "CDL mills" are putting unqualified drivers behind the wheel of 40-ton vehicles. ✔️ How Sean Duffy's 2025 CDL crackdown misses the real problems ✔️ FMCSA self-certification loopholes that bypass proper training ✔️ Electronic logs and "ghost drivers" defrauding team driver systems ✔️ Medical examiners passing unfit drivers with sleep apnea ✔️ Why underride guards could save lives in rear-end collisions David Craig is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, accredited by the American Bar Association. With 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases, he holds trucking companies accountable. Most CDL schools only teach students to pass the test, not actually drive. Steve's YouTube channels "Trucker Steve CDL Instructor" and "The Broken CDL Trucking System" document these failures in real time. — 01:43 – Trucker Steve's Background: From UPS to CDL Instructor 05:03 – Driver Health & Medical Certification Problems 09:09 – Sleep Apnea and Medical Examiners Who Look the Other Way 14:15 – Sean Duffy's CDL School Crackdown: Too Little, Too Late? 19:23 – FMC Self-Certification Loopholes Exposed 25:23 – Why CDL Schools Are Broken: Instructor-to-Student Ratios 31:40 – Non-Domiciled Drivers: Fixing the Wrong Problem? 32:18 – English Proficiency Requirements for Commercial Drivers 40:06 – Miles vs. Hours: How Truckers Get Paid Affects Safety 45:09 – Ghost Drivers: Electronic Logs and Team Driver Fraud 52:03 – Driver-Facing Cameras and Crash Avoidance Technology 59:02 – Underride Guards Could Have Saved Lives 1:01:01 – Quality Training at Trucking Companies: The Missing Link 1:08:32 – The Real Driver Shortage vs. Retention Problem — If you or someone you know has been involved in a truck crash, don’t wait.

    Ep. 83 - Indiana CDL Crackdown: 1,800 Commercial Drivers Lose Licenses || Ask David Podcast

    Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig breaks down Indiana's radical new trucking law where 1,800 commercial drivers just lost their licenses overnight. In this episode of Ask David, David discusses the sweeping changes under Indiana House Enrolled Act 1200, which took effect April 1st. The law emerged after four horrific crashes involving non-domiciled drivers. David explains how the trucking industry's claim of a "driver shortage" led to a massive increase from 316,000 to 720,000 non-domiciled drivers between 2000 and 2021. ✔️ What non-domiciled drivers are  ✔️ How visa requirements changed for H-2A, H-1B, and E-2 classifications ✔️ English proficiency crackdowns ✔️ Indiana's ban on foreign language CDL testing ✔️ Federal CDL school closures and quality control issues ✔️ Criminal penalties: Level 6 felony charges for violations David Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and accredited by the American Bar Association. With 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases, he meets rigorous experience, ethics, and knowledge standards to hold trucking companies and unsafe drivers accountable. The four crashes that triggered this legislation represent real families who lost loved ones due to unqualified drivers on Indiana roads. The February Jay County crash alone claimed four lives when a non-domiciled driver with a bad record, working for a company with significant safety violations, caused a fatal wreck. 👉 Key takeaway: Indiana became the first state to criminalize federal motor carrier safety violations, making it a felony to operate with unqualified drivers. — 02:22 – Indiana House Enrolled Act 1200: What Changed on April 1st 02:47 – 1,800 CDL Licenses Revoked: The Impact on Non-Domiciled Drivers 03:16 – Foreign Drivers vs. Non-Domiciled: Understanding the Difference 04:51 – The Driver Shortage Myth: From 316,000 to 720,000 Non-Domiciled Drivers 05:33 – Four Fatal Crashes That Changed Indiana Law 06:13 – Jay County Crash: Four Deaths on State Route 67 06:31 – Hendricks County & Avon: Red Light Fatalities 07:29 – Portage Case: Driver Using Family Member's Suspended CDL 08:01 – Pedestrian Death: Wheelchair Victim Struck in Indianapolis 08:31 – The April 1st Deadline: No Grandfather Clause Protection 09:28 – Visa Requirements: H-2A, H-1B & E-2 Classifications 10:34 – English Proficiency Requirements: Federal vs. State Enforcement 11:17 – Trump Administration Cracks Down on Language Testing 12:10 – Mechanics Can't Communicate: Safety Violations Going Unfixed 13:27 – Foreign Language CDL Tests: Indiana Says No More 14:13 – CDL School Closures: Quality Control Crisis 16:23 – Trucker Steve Interview Preview: What Makes Good Driver Training 17:06 – Criminal Penalties: Level 6 Felony for Violations 17:26 – $50,000 Fines for Trucking Companies 18:47 – Chameleon Carriers Preview: 60 Minutes Investigation Coming — Learn About the Firm: At Craig, Kelley & Faultless, LLC, we've dedicated decades to fighting for trucking accident victims.

    Ep. 82 - Truck Driver Vision Survey Reveals Shocking Results || Ask David Podcast

    Board-certified truck accident attorney David Craig reveals shocking survey results from 100 truck drivers about how they handle fog, sun glare, and dangerous weather conditions. In this episode of Ask David, he breaks down the gap between federal safety regulations and what drivers actually do when visibility is compromised. From FMCSA rules to real crash cases, this episode shows why these decisions put families at risk. ✔️ Only 6% of drivers slow down or pull over for sun glare ✔️ Federal law requires “extreme caution” in low visibility ✔️ CDL guidelines mandate major speed reductions in bad conditions ✔️ Some trucking companies reward safety, others discourage it ✔️ Real crashes show the dangers of ignoring visibility hazards 👉 Key takeaway: When truck drivers can’t see the road, most don’t slow down—and that puts everyone in danger. — 00:32 – Introduction: David's Truck Driver Survey at ATLA Conference 02:35 – Why Survey 100 Truck Drivers About Visibility Issues? 05:13 – Federal Motor Carrier Safety Rules vs. Car Driver Standards 07:10 – Section 392.14: The Extreme Caution Requirement for Truckers 09:30 – CDL Manual Guidelines: Wet Roads, Snow & Ice Protocols 10:17 – How Stopping Distance Changes with Speed & Visibility 11:16 – Can Trucking Companies Help Drivers Avoid Bad Weather? 13:02 – Some Companies Pay Drivers to Stop, Others Penalize Them 14:48 – David's Childhood Story: Different Safety Standards 16:38 – Survey Results: The Shocking Truth About Sun Glare 17:32 – Real Case: Dash Cam Shows Trucker Blinded by Sunset 18:40 – Construction Zone Crash: Glare Hides Traffic Cones 19:20 – Only 6% of Drivers Slow Down or Pull Over for Glare 20:11 – Fog Survey Results: Why Truckers Ignore CDL Training 21:22 – Snow & Ice vs. Glare: Why Some Conditions Get More Respect 24:07 – David's Drive to North Carolina: Good vs. Bad Truckers 25:37 – Final Safety Message: Protect Your Family on the Road — If you or someone you know has been involved in a truck crash, don’t wait.

    Ep. 81 - AI-Powered Legal Testing Revolution || After the Crash Podcast

    In this episode of After the Crash, David sits down with Jonathan Brickman, Chief Revenue Officer of EmotionTrac, to discuss how facial recognition technology and AI-powered jury research are changing the legal landscape. Brickman explains how their platform uses facial coding to capture authentic emotional responses from panels of 100+ people, giving lawyers unprecedented insight into how their case stories will resonate before they ever step foot in a courtroom. David shares powerful examples from his own practice, including how he used EmotionTrac to shift liability away from an uninsured pickup truck driver to property owners in a catastrophic crash case. He also reveals his firm's aggressive investment in AI technology, including hiring a dedicated software engineer and developing proprietary truck tracking systems. 👉 Key takeaway: The future of legal practice isn't about replacing lawyers with technology—it's about using AI and advanced research tools to work smarter, handle cases more efficiently, and deliver better outcomes for clients. — 00:00 – Introduction to Jonathan Brickman & EmotionTrac 01:37 – What Is EmotionTrac & How It Works 03:37 – Why Early Case Development Matters for Trial Lawyers 05:26 – How EmotionTrac Complements Traditional Focus Groups 07:03 – The Platform Process: From Case Story to Panel Results 09:18 – Panel Selection & Geographic Targeting Capabilities 14:00 – Real Case Example: Ice Cream Store Truck Crash 20:22 – Multi-Venue Testing: Georgia vs Iowa Jury Pools 24:14 – Using EmotionTrac for Marketing & Website Testing 26:11 – David Craig's AI Implementation Strategy at CKF 31:00 – AI Tools for Medical Records & Discovery Review 36:00 – Survey Juror: New Self-Service Testing Platform 38:15 – Jonathan Brickman's Background & Career Path 40:37 – Final Thoughts on Legal Technology Innovation — If you or someone you know has been involved in a truck crash, don’t wait.

    Ep. 80 – Hidden Truths In Dangerous Companies || After the Crash Podcast

    In this episode of After the Crash, David Craig sits down with Sam Littrell, COO of Stratejic Relationships, to discuss how investigators uncover critical evidence by finding people who previously worked inside the company being investigated. ✔️ Why former employees can be key witnesses in serious injury and wrongful death cases ✔️ How investigators locate people who worked inside trucking companies and other corporations ✔️ What former workers sometimes reveal about safety practices, training, and company culture ✔️ Real examples of cases where inside information helped uncover what was actually happening behind the scenes When catastrophic crashes occur, families are often left with one question: Why did this happen? Meanwhile, the companies involved may already be working to protect themselves. This episode explains how attorneys and investigators search for the truth by speaking with people who witnessed how a company actually operated day to day. In many situations, former employees may have reported safety concerns or dangerous practices long before a crash occurred. David and Sam discuss real examples involving trucking companies, product liability cases, nursing homes, and other industries where insider knowledge helped reveal information that otherwise may never have surfaced. The goal is simple: find the truth and understand what really happened. If you or someone you love has been involved in a serious truck crash, understanding how investigations work can help you better understand the process of uncovering accountability. – 01:17 Meet Sam Littrell and Stratejic Relationships 02:09 How Investigators Find Former Employees 05:05 Why These Investigations Matter in Serious Cases 07:29 Why Former Employees Often Speak Up 09:04 How Attorneys Start an Investigation 12:10 Example: Trucking Company Safety Practices Revealed 14:39 What Happens When Investigations Don’t Find Evidence 18:59 Other Types of Cases Where Insider Information Matters 21:53 Why Attorneys Must Search for the Truth 25:17 How to Contact Stratejic Relationships — If you or someone you know has been involved in a truck crash, don’t wait.
