Truck Accident Scene Investigation

Thorough investigation of a truck accident scene is critical to protecting the victims of an 18-wheeler accident.

Our truck accident attorneys and reconstruction experts will go to the scene, taking photographs and looking for skid marks, debris on the roadway and shoulder, obstructed traffic signs, and any other evidence that will enable them to reconstruct events leading to the crash. We examine law enforcement records and the records of the trucking company. We go over the driver's logbook with a fine-tooth comb, looking for signs of driver negligence or falsification.

This accident scene investigation forms the basis of our case, and the information we develop often puts us in a position to obtain a full settlement for our client. If the insurance company insists on fighting, we welcome the opportunity to go to trial. Our attorneys have a reputation for preparedness and success, and so are not afraid to go to trial.
