However, legal plans designed to protect drivers from all these traps are often not enough. We hear many drivers say that legal plans are a scam. What for? Usually because when the driver had to use the service, the legal service provider refused to help or the lawyer did not appear in court. The goal is simple: to provide drivers with the best possible legal representation and to make that representation affordable. Drivers Legal Plan has a comprehensive plan, but they offer a few different ways to pay for their services. If they weren`t involved, most professional drivers at least thought about having a serious accident with other vehicles. If you or your spouse are charged with a traffic accident, a CDLP lawyer will defend you in court. This significant benefit from the plan covers the following costs, whether they result from an accident in a work vehicle or a motor vehicle. CDL Legal provides the legal protection that CDL drivers don`t know they need. If you have an accident or receive CDL tickets, you`ll need a lawyer by your side to help you represent you and resolve any legal issues you face. This is where CDL Legal`s driver service stands out. <>. It starts at the top.
Our CEO, Scott Shacklett, was previously co-founder and CEO of a fleet of 500 drivers. Our staff is made up of former dispatchers, former recruiters and former security guards. Our approach to helping drivers is based on our understanding of trucks and the law, not just the law. The firm`s fixed attorney fees and weekly advances prevent drivers from breaking the law, but also provide your business with the vital legal protection it needs for inevitable violations. CDL Legal is changing the way submissions are processed. The first problem we tackled was our own structure. We are not a firm of lawyers who thought that offering legal services to drivers was a great way to make money. We are a transit organization.
These flawed driver rights plans hurt not only drivers, but also lawyers. Often, the lawyer attached to a legal protection plan that a driver relies on is not qualified for CDL cases. Or the lawyer may not be motivated to appear on behalf of the driver or to do their best. Indeed, most lawyers are dictated a fixed price for their services when handling these cases. They are also rarely paid until 60 to 90 days after the case is closed. No one wants to work for less than what they are worth and only get paid 3 months after work. Member drivers also pay a defense fee in the event of an accident or infraction. The fees are high enough to encourage drivers to prioritize safety, but not to the point of not being able to afford this vital protection. Honest mistakes can and do happen to even the safest drivers. Having access to a CDL defense lawyer will help protect your driving record and employability. 25% discount on other transportation-related legal mattersIf you need legal assistance with other transportation-related matters beyond the benefits of the basic plan, you can hire your attorney appointed by LegalShield for 25% off standard hourly rates.
Whatever the legal situation, you are protected with considerable savings. CDL Legal is revolutionizing the way lawyers interact with drivers. CDL Legal is for drivers who benefit from driver protection. You can say it serves us selfishly, but there`s more to it than that. We constantly hear about drivers who have lost their ability to drive due to offences they have received. We wanted to change stories like this and give drivers access to reliable legal assistance. Drivers Legal Plan is a national law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of truck drivers and therefore the interests of freight forwarders. Most reviews of the drivers` legal plan are very positive, with drivers sharing their stories of how the firm`s lawyers were able to help them.
In many cases, the law firm represented the driver when he could not be present in the courtroom. Now that ASC is active, it`s more important than ever for drivers to keep points away from their CSA SMS readings. I see it`s been a problem for at least a year, so I don`t think they intend to solve it. Very disappointed. by Bryan Shannon, ORDP Director Having spoken to hundreds of truckers and carriers over the years, I`m well placed to have heard a lot about the different fleet management companies – the good and the bad. I wanted to take my time to sit down. That`s a small price to pay for such important protection. Hopefully, drivers will never have to use the service, but if they do, they can rest easy knowing they have legal representation that can save their jobs and their ability to make a living.
