How Important Is A Trucking Accident Investigation?
The trucking industry is big business; therefore, when accidents happen, trucking companies and their insurance companies pull out all stops to protect the company from losing money. Because many trucking companies and/or their insurance companies employ a rapid response team of investigators and adjusters, it is extremely important that you hire an experienced trucking accident attorney to begin a trucking accident investigation as soon as possible following your accident.
Injuries sustained in a trucking accident can have life-long physical, financial and emotional consequences for the victim and his or her family. You and your family deserve to receive a full and just settlement for your injuries. Contact Musselwhite Meinhart & Staples as soon as possible so that our attorneys can help you to protect your legal rights.
Elements of a Trucking Accident Investigation
Gathering and preserving evidence is the main reason why you need a trucking accident lawyer on your side as soon as possible after a trucking accident. Vital evidence may be lost or destroyed if you do not act quickly to preserve this evidence. From evidence at the scene to the actual truck itself, our attorneys begin working immediately to insure that this evidence is gathered and preserved as we build a strong case against the negligent truck driver and the trucking company.
Our attorneys will take steps to ensure that vital evidence is not destroyed, altered or lost. We begin by sending the trucking company and its representatives a letter putting the parties on notice that they are to retain all records relating to the truck driver and the truck itself. In most cases, information contained in these records is vital to proving liability on the part of the driver, the company and other parties. Therefore, the sooner we begin a trucking accident investigation, the quicker we can prevent this information from being altered, destroyed or lost.
A trucking accident investigation is a large undertaking involving many individuals. In some cases, we also use expert witnesses to reconstruct the accident or to testify as to certain aspects of the case to establish liability and/or damages. The quicker we can begin investigating the accident and hiring experts, the better chance we have of maximizing the amount of recovery available to the victim and his or her family.
