Swift, Thorough Investigation
Immediately after an accident, you should seek medical treatment. Your next priority is to call a personal injury lawyer. The truck driver's employer or trucking company will have its insurance company at the accident scene quickly, gathering evidence to defend against your claim. When you contact our office, we will launch an immediate independent investigation. Our team will:
- Take photographs of the damage
- Speak with witnesses
- Consult with experts
Over time, evidence tends to disappear or become unreliable. Fluid spills evaporate, tire marks fade and witnesses can become less clear about the actual events. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can begin to preserve evidence.
Knowledge of Trucking Regulations
There are strict federal regulations regarding log books, hours of service, safety regulations, pre-trip inspections and other actions. Because our lawyers understand these regulations, we are able to identify negligence. We will be able to determine the cause of the collision and who is at fault.
