Trucking Accident Claim FAQs
Why is a truck accident case more complex than a car accident case?
Truck accidents involve federal regulations, multiple corporate defendants (the trucking company, shipper, maintenance company), and evidence like 'black box' data that can be destroyed quickly. It requires a lawyer with specific experience and resources to handle these complexities.
What is the most critical first step after a truck accident?
After seeking medical care, the most urgent step is to hire a lawyer who can immediately send a 'spoliation letter' to the trucking company. This legally demands they preserve all evidence, including the truck's black box data and driver logs, which are vital to your case.
Can the trucking company be held liable if the driver was at fault?
Yes, absolutely. Under the doctrine of 'vicarious liability,' employers are responsible for the negligent acts of their employees. We can also hold the company directly liable for its own negligence, like improper maintenance or negligent hiring.
