Take Action Now to Protect Your Rights
It is important that an independent investigation is conducted on your behalf immediately after an accident. We will go to the accident scene, contact witnesses, consult with experts and retrieve all relevant evidence from the trucking company, including black box evidence and drivers’ logs and reports. Any of this evidence could be an asset to determining fault and to maximize your recovery after an accident.
State and Federal Trucking Laws
We are experienced with cases involving violation state or federal trucking regulations including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Many accidents result from fatigued drivers.
