Carrollton Truck Accident Lawyer

How Are Truck Crashes Investigated?

Utilizing our expertise in the commercial trucking industry, we gather the necessary details and data to ensure the success of your case. While we carefully review the information provided in police and law enforcement investigations, we understand that these analyses and reports may be incomplete.

At McCraw Law Group, we leave nothing to chance. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Our thorough investigations involve obtaining critical information from the trucking company, including Driver Qualification Files, which are required by law for each driver
• Our proactive Carrollton truck accident attorneys will also request the truck's black box data, which can provide crucial information about the events leading up to your accident
• We delve into various details to determine if the truck driver violated state or federal regulations, which can significantly impact a wrongful death or serious injury case

Federal Trucking Laws

Because collisions involving big rigs can be so devastating, truck drivers are held to higher safety standards than other motorists. If you sustain severe injuries in a truck collision, our truck collision lawyers thoroughly investigate whether the truck driver or commercial carrier violated the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation Act. If this violation can be substantiated, you may have a personal injury case against both the driver and the trucking company.

Federal law can impact your case in various ways. For example, a skilled truck accident lawyer takes prompt action to secure essential data from the trucking log, as Federal law permits the destruction of a trucking log after six months. Delaying action could result in the lawful destruction of crucial evidence and jeopardize your or your family's case.
