When a trucking accident occurs, investigators representing the trucking company's interests are often on the scene in hours, looking for evidence that is beneficial to the interests of the trucking company and its insurers. To protect your interests, you need someone looking for evidence that will help your case.
At the law firm of McCarthy Weisberg Cummings in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, our attorneys have more than 25 years of combined experience handling cases involving truck accident victims. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and answer your questions.
As soon as you retain us in a truck accident case, our lawyers will begin collecting and preserving evidence that is needed to support your case of liability against the trucking company and/or the truck driver. Examples of evidence include:
- The driver logbook, to determine if truck driver fatigue may have been a factor in the accident
- The truck driver's history and the truck's GPS records (if equipped) to uncover truck driver errors such as truck speeding
- The trailer and load, to determine if the truck was overloaded, overweight or driving with an unsecured load
- Truck and trailer maintenance records, to see if the truck's safety components were properly maintained
If important evidence is not collected and secured, that evidence can literally drive away after the accident. Driver logbooks and maintenance records can be destroyed if the trucking company is not ordered to preserve them.
