Trailer comes off at 75mph
ir, you were blessed in the aftermath of them coming lose.
A few years back I had a trailer to come loose my father in law was pulling that had a safe and guided landing also. The locking pin was not installed and my sister in law realized it but said nothing and the safety chain was bolted to the trailer and the bolt(s) sheared. Lost a $5 pin and maybe $10 of material from load on trailer. All in all, very good ending to what could have been bad.

AMEN! KT. I though I was in deep hocky when the KY HP showed up, He just shook his head and laughed when he found out no one was hurt and said I was lucky not to have hooked the chains as he had a heavy boat jack knife with him and drag his new pickup into the woods and reveine backwards. He also made the statement that he cut all chains now(if they are required) to make them break so if it ever happens again he can get away from the mess.

You gotta be kidding!
Your butt may get "saved" (until you get sued) but what about the other innocent drivers/passengers that could be hit by it? That's why we have trucking laws.
I have a buddy who was held 1/3 responsible in a $3 million jury-award due to a landscaping trailer he worked on coming off the truck's hitch and killing someone.
His part of the lawsuit was $980,000--and his insurance would not cover it.

That's the trouble with this world now. Too damed many lawers and sue happy people who want to chase ambulance's. That is good enough excuse to be a LLC and be sue proof by keeping the company nearly broke then have a very good insurance pol that will cover a reasonable claim and let the rest go to H---!!

That doesn't work if they can find even a shred of negligence (or what they think is anyway) they can go around the LLC in a heart beat, especially if the 'company' is one person.
Best of luck.

I have been told that an LLC gives very little real protection and yes I have one but it does give some. My guess is if the trailer or truck belong to the person by name, they would be in trouble.

Glossary: PAD means Personal Attack Deleted by moderator
Here we go again. Yet another [PAD] who says whatever they want and present it as Truth with absolutely no basis in fact, or experience, nor logic let alone responsibility or accountability.
This would be funny if it weren't so sad.
Moark, if I take your ill-formed statement at face-value (think: like any good prosecutor would) you're telling me you can doing any damned illegal and immoral thing you want and hide behind the so-called corporate veil AND think that the insurance company will pick up the pieces.
[PAD]
BTW,  should anything happen even remotely like what you have described and you're involved, about tow chains and trailers and someone gets maimed or killed [PAD]--there's something in the Law called Public Domain and your IP address--which you are on right now---and buddy you're virtual "finger prints" are all over this thing. [PAD]
So now you have gone from "simple negligence" to "intent"-- as in "voluntary man slaughter"--of which there IS NO defense.
[PAD]

[PAD]. Things like I described did happen and I have photo proof of it BUT that was in the 70:s when the world was going nuts before everyone went sue happy. [PAD]
