Interviews and Depositions

Accident witnesses are interviewed and depositions are obtained.

Truck accident attorneys and investigators at Arnold & Itkin LLP know that rapid response and thorough scene investigations are critical to protecting the victims of an 18-wheeler accident involving catastrophic injury or wrongful death.

Accident scene investigators will quickly arrive at the accident scene and interview witnesses, including the driver, law enforcement officers, and other potential witnesses. Within hours the trucking company's insurance company will have its own investigators on the scene. There are good reasons for this urgency. Evidence of truck accidents disappears with time. Accident witnesses become unavailable or their memories of the event begin to fade.

At Arnold & Itkin LLP, we recognize that time is critical. Our investigation begins when we first meet with a client, and stays focused on attaining fair compensation for our client's loss through a favorable settlement or verdict.
