A truck or tractor-trailer accident is not just a bigger car wreck. The investigation and legal issues are far more demanding and complex. It is impossible to over-emphasize the importance of quickly hiring a qualified attorney who can get an experienced truck wreck investigator on the scene right away and demand the preservation of trucking company records.
What Should I Do If I Am Involved In A Truck Accident?
Quick action is essential in launching a thorough investigation of a serious truck wreck. Truck companies and their insurers often immediately send out teams to document their side of a case, attempt to influence the police investigation, and move physical evidence.
Companies providing satellite communication systems for trucking companies purge their computer records within a few weeks. Trucking companies are only required to maintain driver logs and related operational records for six months on average and may destroy records after that time. Therefore, if the victim does not have a knowledgeable person working to promptly preserve evidence, vitally important information may be lost forever.
One advantage the office has above most other law firms is the staff position of a licensed investigator who can respond immediately to preserve evidence in your case. Our investigator also can obtain law enforcement videos and other evidence before they disappear, which is essential.
