In a serious 18 wheeler accident often times the insurance company for the motor carrier will have "experts" on retainer and ready for dispatch to an accident site on notification of the accident. What this means for the victim or the victim's family is that the defense will have "boots on the ground" often within hours of the accident.

The insurance companies lawyers and experts are not at the scene to gather evidence to benefit the victim or to assess what happened, they are there to defend a claim.

Such things as skid marks, debris in the road, witness accounts and black box data from the big rig or the other vehicle are sometimes extremely helpful in the prosecution or defense of the case. It is often times critical that precious evidence be preserved and documented very early on after the accident.

Because we have prosecuted truck accident cases for over 20 years we have developed working relationships with experts in many fields necessary to fight for full justice in a truck accident case. In appropriate cases, we too can have "boots on the ground" for you within hours after being retained.
