Commercial trucks tend to be 20-30 times greater in size and weight than a regular passenger car. Because of this, the destructive power of these accidents is greatly increased. The factors that can contribute to crashes are likewise multiplied, making fault at times difficult to clarify.
Liability often involves multiple parties. A truck is subject to not only the actions of the driver, but also the company that operates it, the crews that maintain it, and how it has been loaded to appropriately distribute its weight. Because of this, a truck often has a slew of monitoring records, such as a black box, driver's logs, and required maintenance records that can be reviewed in the case of an accident.
Finding a skilled lawyer is critical in pursuing litigation resulting from a truck accident. Attorneys with experience within this unique field can assist their clients in several ways when pursuing restitution.
Their familiarity with the laws and regulations can assist clients in understanding the facts of the case, the players involved, and the correct course of action. Likewise, they can investigate and scrutinize evidence, such as driver’s logs, maintenance records, and the black box of the truck. Through this investigation, they can assist in assigning liability and communicating with the relevant entity.
