Accidents Involving Tractor Trailers: Why It’s Important To Contact An Attorney Right Away

Accidents involving tractor-trailers are often catastrophic because of the size and weight of the vehicles. More than 5,000 people in passenger cars are killed each year in accidents involving semis, and many more are injured.

Should you be in an accident with a semi truck, it’s critical to contact an attorney immediately.

There are a number of reasons for this.

First, State and Federal trucking regulations can be complex, and should you decide to pursue a lawsuit, a thorough understanding of these laws is necessary. In addition, trucking companies and the insurance firms who represent them are very experienced at defending themselves and will have a legal person at the scene within hours of the wreck in order to start to building their defense. Truck drivers are required to keep driving logs, and trucking companies also keep numerous other records that they may use to defend themselves. A trucking company may choose to show records from maintenance, training, driver experience, or a variety of other sources. In addition, without a lawyer who knows how to preserve important information, the trucking companies may destroy or “lose” key documents that hurt their case. They also know how to create delays or use other legal tactics to avoid responsibility.
