Commercial vehicle litigation
A truck collision is a corporate investigation from day one.
Commercial-trucking cases can involve the driver, carrier, shipper, maintenance vendors, layered insurance, and federal safety rules. The investigation must move quickly to preserve electronic data and operating records before they are lost.
Treat the collision as a corporate and regulatory investigation.
The driver is only one part of the record. A complete investigation may involve dispatch decisions, hours-of-service data, qualification files, maintenance history, cargo responsibility, telematics, corporate safety practices, and layered coverage across several entities.
Operational evidence to preserve
- Hours-of-service violations
- Driver qualification
- Maintenance failures
- Electronic logging and vehicle data
- Carrier and broker responsibility
The working method
- 01Preserve
Protect the records, testimony, data, and physical evidence that can disappear.
- 02Prove
Build causation and damages through documents, experts, and a coherent theory of the case.
- 03Position
Prepare the matter so negotiation is backed by credible trial risk.
