18-Wheeler Accident Claims
A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. When one collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. Truck accident cases are also more complex than a typical car wreck because responsibility can extend well beyond the driver.
Trucking companies and their insurers often send response teams to the scene quickly. Evidence such as electronic logs and black box data can be overwritten or lost, so it is important to act fast and send a preservation demand before it disappears.
Evidence we pursue
- Electronic logging device (ELD) records
- Black box and engine data
- Driver qualification and training files
- Hours-of-service compliance
- Maintenance and inspection records
- Accident reconstruction analysis
Who may be responsible
The truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, a maintenance contractor, or a parts manufacturer may all share liability. With our CDL and trucking background, we know how federal motor carrier safety rules apply and where violations tend to hide.
