Please go to www.dangeroustrailers.org and take note!! What is happening all over the Nation.

No Standards, no training, no quality control and the insurance industry just paid a family who contacted us more in settlement not to join our effort.

They do not want us to exist. Why?

But was the motorist cited and held at fault for the accident? Is there insurance paying for the cyclists medical care?
