There are a lot of things we look for when working with clients who have been in truck accidents. It is our responsibility to figure out who caused the accident and then prove it. We endeavor to establish the degree of the injuries and the proper compensation for them. There are three sorts of evidence that can assist us in achieving these objectives.
We encourage you to continue reading to learn more about those three kinds of evidence, and then call the Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 to schedule a free legal consultation with an expert personal injury lawyer. We would gladly analyze your situation and provide you with our best recommendations for how to proceed.
Service logs and hours of service logs
Federal and state rules set limits on how long a truck driver can remain on the road in a given period of time. These regulations limit how many hours they can drive in a row, how many hours they can drive in a day, and how many hours they can drive in a week. We will check over these logs to make sure the driver did not break any of the rules. If they did, they are to blame for the mishap.
Weight limits for trucks
Every large rig is designed to carry a certain amount of cargo. A driver or trucking firm that disregards those rules and overloads the vehicle with more freight than it is rated for endangers everyone on the road. Overloaded trucks are difficult to handle and take longer to stop than they should. We’ll look at the weight restrictions for the truck you were in an accident with to see whether it was overweight and if that had a role in the accident.
Information about the driver’s education and experience
Driving a truck is unquestionably difficult. This is why doing it lawfully necessitates substantial training as well as a particular license. Truck drivers need strong eyesight, quick reflexes, and sound judgment. Unfortunately, due to a scarcity of truck drivers, some trucking businesses are forced to recruit untrained or unlicensed drivers. We will check to see if the motorist with whom you were in an accident has the proper license and training. If this is not the case, both the driver and the trucking firm may be held accountable.
Let us hold those who are at fault accountable
If you were harmed in a truck accident that was caused totally or largely by the negligence of another person, the at-fault party should be held liable for your medical bills, lost income, and other damages. Call the Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707, and we will help you hold these people accountable.
