Fighting for Your Rights After a Truck Accident
If you have been injured in a truck accident, there are a lot of things to consider that would not normally be factors in a typical car accident. We understand the major factors at play in truck accidents, and we will pursue every angle to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
Some common safety issues that lead to truck accidents include:
- Driver exhaustion
- Written log fraud regarding the number of hours driven
- Drug use by trucker
- Drifting out of lane
- Lane blocking - trucks driving side by side to prevent passing
We Know How to Get the Necessary Records
Under federal law, trucking companies are required to keep certain records. They must maintain a variety of safety records, including those relating to driver safety, the safety record of the trucking company, and vehicle maintenance records.
Few people know what records trucking companies have to keep - much less how to get them. Trucking companies will not provide you with these records automatically. Experienced in handling trucking accidents, attorney Pofahl knows exactly what steps to take.
In addition to obtaining all the pertinent records, our firm will help you avoid the following evidence pitfalls:
- The truck driver fails to take the required drug test after an accident
- Evidence is lost because the truck leaves the state
- Evidence is destroyed because the trucking company gets their truck fixed
- Locating the driver or the trucking company can be very difficult - we will conduct the necessary investigation to identify the parties involved
