Winter truck wrecks are on the rise and too many families are blindsided when disaster strikes on icy roads. In this episode of After the Crash, host Ashley and Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig break down why winter is one of the deadliest times on Indiana highways, especially when it comes to semi-trucks and commercial vehicles.

David shares:

✔️ Why speed is the number one cause of winter truck crashes

✔️ What federal trucking regulations require during snow, ice, and low visibility

✔️ How the CDL manual defines “extreme caution” and how often truckers ignore it

✔️ What you can do to stay safe on the road

✔️ Why some truck drivers are unprepared or unqualified for winter conditions

✔️ The importance of having emergency gear in your vehicle

✔️ Real crash cases caused by winter weather and driver error

David Craig is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (Accredited by the American Bar Association). This is a distinction held by only a select group of attorneys nationwide.

Truck drivers can’t find safe places to park—and it’s costing lives.
In this episode of After the Crash, David Craig sits down with Noah Volz of Truck Parking Club to unpack one of the most dangerous and overlooked issues in the trucking industry: the national truck parking shortage.

Every night, over 70% of truckers struggle to find legal, safe parking—forcing them to stop in dangerous locations like highway shoulders, exit ramps, or abandoned lots. These choices can lead to devastating wrecks that claim innocent lives. David and Noah explore how lack of parking contributes to deadly crashes, what drivers are doing to cope, and how new technology is helping bridge the gap.

✔️ How the truck parking shortage leads to serious crashes
✔️ Why government funding alone isn’t fixing the problem
✔️ How Truck Parking Club is helping drivers find legal, safe parking spots
✔️ The real cost of “free” parking: time, fuel, and safety
✔️ Who should be paying for parking—drivers or companies?

This is a must-watch for truck accident victims, their families, and anyone who wants safer roads.

Police reports are often seen as the “official story” after a crash—but are they always accurate? In this episode of After the Crash Podcast, attorney David Craig and paralegal Holly Hines answer one of the most common questions families ask after a semi-truck wreck: how much weight should you give a police report?

Police reports can provide details like witness names and statements, but they are not always complete—and sometimes they’re wrong. Many families are surprised to learn:

✔️ Reports are often delayed or missing information.

✔️ Trucking companies may use them to their advantage.

✔️ Reports can be challenged, corrected, or supplemented with investigation.

✔️ A report alone doesn’t determine fault in a truck accident case.

David and Holly share stories where the initial report wrongly placed blame—and how deeper investigation uncovered the truth. They also explain what families can do if they believe a police report is inaccurate, and why hiring an experienced truck accident lawyer with the right team makes all the difference.
