Citizens Prey: Based on a True Story of Loss, Grief and Litigation - Hardcover

by Sarah Standifird (Author)

Citizens Prey is the gripping true story of a family forever changed by a fiery semi-truck crash that claims the life of a young father. In an instant, grief overtakes everything. But mourning quickly gives way to something even more daunting-a relentless legal battle against powerful trucking companies, insurance giants, and a system that often protects corporate interests over broken families.

What should have been a straightforward pursuit of accountability becomes a brutal war of attrition. Legal tactics, financial pressure, and courtroom maneuvering reveal how deeply stacked the system can be against victims seeking justice. As opportunists circle and corporate defense teams mobilize, one determined mother refuses to be intimidated.

Through raw emotion and unflinching honesty, Citizens Prey exposes the hidden realities behind catastrophic trucking accidents-where liability is contested, responsibility is diluted, and families are left to fight for answers while others calculate risk and profit. This is more than a courtroom drama; it is a story of resilience in the face of institutional power.

At its heart, this book is about love, loss, and a mother's refusal to let her son's life be reduced to a case file. It challenges readers to confront uncomfortable questions about accountability, corporate negligence, and who ultimately pays the price when tragedy strikes on America's highways.

Compelling, courageous, and deeply human, Citizens Prey pulls back the curtain on a legal battlefield most people never see-until they are forced into it.
