EVERY 16 MINUTES OF EVERY DAY

      Someone in the United States will be killed or injured in a truck wreck,

  • Over four hundred and fifty thousand  large trucks were involved in wrecks last year,
  • Over one million people were involved in the wrecks,
  • Over five thousand people were killed,
  • Over one hundred and forty thousand people were hurt,
  • One third of the injured suffered catastrophic life altering damages.

  Time is of the essence when you are involved in a wreck with a “semi truck,” “tractor trailer,” or “18 wheeler”. Trucking companies have investigators on the scene of serious wrecks within hours after they happen. Often the truck, trailer and cargo are moved, photographed and repaired or salvaged within hours of the wreck. Important evidence is lost or destroyed, witnesses are forgotten or stories changed. Usually the car occupants are seriously injured or killed. The family is not focused on the truck driver’s negligence or the trucking companies’ failures to use due care because they are at the hospital worried about the injured or are grieving over lost family members, and making funeral arraignments. It is at these times you should call an experienced lawyer that can immediately investigate and preserve the important documents, and witness’ statements. Federal laws and regulations require trucking companies and their drivers to perform tasks, and maintain written documents to memorialize those acts. These documents are essential in a truck wreck investigation and over time they may be lost, destroyed or hidden.  A lawyer that is knowledgeable and experienced with trucking cases will take immediate steps to obtain those documents.
