Our truck accident lawyers work closely with accident reconstruction specialists and other highly trained accident investigation experts to conduct a thorough investigation of:
- The accident scene: We go immediately to the scene of your truck accident to examine and preserve evidence of how your accident happened. Tire skid marks, debris and road conditions can help us reconstruct your accident to prove your claim.
- The semi truck: By examining the truck itself, we can check for signs of defective tires or other truck part defects that may have caused the accident.
- The truck's on-board data recorder: This "black box" records speed and other data from the moment of the collision; it can show reckless driving and other signs of truck driver negligence.
- Your vehicle: Damage to your car and points of impact can help us prove your claim and refute any false claims by the truck driver than you were at fault.
- The truck driver's driving record and log book: These records may show that the driver was involved in other accidents in Texas or other states. We examine the log book for false entries that point to negligence and violations of trucking regulations.
- Maintenance reports: If a trucking company failed to make needed repairs or failed to maintain the truck, the company can be held liable for resulting accidents.
- Trucking company records: We closely examine these records for evidence of negligent hiring practices, failure to adequately train or test drivers and other company negligence.
Under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, trucking companies are allowed to destroy evidence, including driver's log books and maintenance reports, after just six months following truck accidents. As soon as you hire us, we will make sure that these valuable records are protected.
