Truck Driver Standards
By law, trucking companies and truck drivers are held to a higher standard of liability when operating on public roads. While it may seem counter-intuitive, this does not make it easier to collect compensation for injuries caused by reckless truck drivers. Insurance carriers expend significant resources to minimize their financial liability in a tractor-trailer accident, often responding to the scene of the accident.
How We Handle Truck Accident Cases
At Modica, Dowden & Sledge, we help people who have suffered serious injuries in truck accidents. Our attorneys know how to investigate accidents involving commercial drivers. We quickly subpoena valuable information, such as:
- Driver’s logs
- GPS information
- Maintenance records
Whenever possible, we obtain the truck's black box that records engine speed, brake applications, throttle position, and the vehicle speed just prior to the accident. We often hire accident reconstruction experts to establish the cause of truck, tractor-trailer, and 18-wheeler accidents. We frequently hire medical experts and occupational rehabilitation experts to show the extent of the injuries.
When you hire our law firm, you get the experience of all our attorneys. We bring a wealth of knowledge and resources to complex 18-wheeler injury accident cases. Whether a case can be resolved through a pre-trial settlement or is decided by a judge or jury, we are committed to being with you every step of the way.
