What is the name of your state? Oklahoma
I am at a loss as to what can be done at this point. My problem is this. I was employed by a company as an owner/operator long haul driver. My contract with the company was terminated by them as they stated I had 3 preventable accidents. The first accident was not my fault and the witnesses advised the CA. highway patrol that there was not a thing I could do to avoid the accident. I was not cited by the officer and was released by him. However, the company I worked for decided it would be cheaper to settle a $10,000.00 claim than to go to court. The second incident, as far as I can tell never happened. I was accused of hit and run. However the logs indicated that I was not even there when it happened. I was never cited for the accident and have never heard from the highway patrol on this matter. The third incident was entirely my fault and I take full responsibility for it. Upon my persuit to gain new employment, whenever someone contacts my previous employer for references, they tell them about these accidents and therefore blow my chances of getting hired. Because of this situation, we are now looking at bankruptcy, as I owe $40,000.00 on a truck that is sitting in the driveway and can only find temporary work making about 1/10 of the income. Is there any hope that I can fight this?
