An 80,000-pound commercial truck can end a life in a second. If you've been hit by one, you're facing serious injuries and a defendant with a team of lawyers already investigating against you.
Truck accident cases aren't just big car accident cases. Federal regulations, driver logs, electronic control modules (ECM), cargo weight limits, maintenance records, drug testing requirements — it's a different world. We know where to look, and we know how to preserve the evidence before the trucking company makes it disappear.
Driver fatigue, distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, overloaded cargo, shifting loads, brake failure, tire blowouts, improper lane changes, and failure to yield. Many commercial drivers are pressured into violating hours-of-service rules to meet delivery deadlines.
The trucking company is legally allowed to destroy certain records after a period of time. We send preservation letters the same day we take your case, demanding that driver logs, ECM data, dispatch records, and inspection reports be kept intact.
Because truck cases often involve catastrophic injuries, the value of the case is often in future medical care, lifetime wage loss, home modifications, and attendant care. We work with life care planners and economists to make sure nothing is left on the table.
