According to the statement, the trucking company had a work accident with injury, and this move was made for protection of the company as a result of the accident. There is probably an outrageous settlement in play and the bankruptcy was recommended by attorneys as to protect themselves against what could be a frivilous amount of money the victim could receive from this settlement if a judge decides to award more money than what is sensible.

A notorious history of the legal system's outrageous lawsuits and settlements forced the move.
Oh really? Did you ever stop to think that there might be a permanently maimed individual who could be on the receiving end of that "probably outrageous and frivolous" settlement? Who gets to decide what's sensible? And what's sensible if serious permanent injury is at stake?

See? I can play the assumptions game too.
