Why truck cases are different
More parties can be responsible: the driver, the carrier, a broker, a maintenance shop, a cargo loader. Key evidence such as electronic logging data, dash cameras and maintenance records can be lost if no one asks to preserve it.
Evidence we pursue
- Electronic logging device and engine data
- Hours-of-service and dispatch records
- Driver qualification and training files
- Inspection and maintenance history
- Video from the truck, nearby businesses and traffic cameras
Questions we hear
Who pays in a truck crash?
Often the motor carrier and its insurer, but other companies may share responsibility. Commercial policies typically carry higher limits than personal auto policies.
