Experienced Lawyers for Truck Accident Victims
Accidents involving large trucks can result in serious injuries and fatalities, even at low speeds. Due to the size of these vehicles and the potential it creates for catastrophic collisions, the trucking industry is heavily regulated at the federal and state levels. Therefore, truck and tractor trailer accident cases can become very complex, requiring the assistance of an experienced truck accident lawyer.

Building Your Truck Accident Case
Time is a crucial factor in motor vehicle accident cases in general, and truck accident cases in particular. Evidence may disappear, vehicles may get repaired and witnesses eventually forget the details. A prompt and thorough investigation is the first step to winning the compensation you deserve. Our investigations include such measures as:
- Interviewing witnesses
- Photographing the scene
- Examining the vehicles
- Obtaining data from the truck's GPS system if it has one
- Studying police reports
Further, because federal law strictly regulates the length of time a driver can drive a truck, we obtain the truck driver's logbooks to check for a possible drive-time violation.
Handling Insurance Issues
Truck accident cases can involve complicated insurance claims. There may be multiple insurance companies, including your own, with whom you will have contact. The insurance defense lawyers will be working to minimize the compensation they pay to you. You should have experienced lawyers of the McDougall LawFirm fighting to make sure you get all that you deserve.
