What to Know When Considering a Truck Accident Lawyer

Although similar car crash claims, accidents involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, and other large trucks can be more challenging to resolve because of some combination of the driver, broker, shipper, trucking company, truck manufacturer, or other third party may be responsible.

To preserve valuable evidence after your crash involving a truck, it is essential to act quickly. All relevant record-keeping sources must be informed that time-sensitive material should not be destroyed. A truck accident attorney from MCCM can help you identify what needs to be saved and ensure that these valuable records are not prematurely destroyed, including: inspection records, onboard computers and driver logs, compliance audits, black boxes, weight limits, licenses, and dispatcher communications.

A significant portion of the annual fatalities in truck and bus crashes are due to driver fatigue. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has regulations about driving while ill or drowsy, and truck drivers may be found liable for accidents in they violate these rules.

Furthermore, drivers may also be found liable for distracted driving.  Truckers’ pay might be cut if they do not stay on schedule, so some of them feel compelled to enter data into their onboard computers while at the wheel rather than stopping.  Driving and cell phone records have provided evidence of distracted diving in successful cases for injured individuals.
