What a Truck Crash Investigation May Examine

Responsibility depends on the evidence and may involve a truck driver, motor carrier, maintenance provider, cargo loader, or another company. An investigation can examine driver qualification and training, hours-of-service and electronic logging data, dispatch communications, inspection and maintenance records, event data, vehicle condition, cargo securement, and the sequence of events. Not every case involves every issue, and evidence must support any claim.

Some electronic or business records may be routinely overwritten or discarded. Preserve what you have and speak with counsel about sending a prompt preservation notice. Do not try to access a commercial vehicle’s systems yourself.

Practical Steps After a Collision

Call 911 when anyone may be hurt or the scene is unsafe. Get medical attention and follow the treating provider’s instructions. If it is safe, photograph the vehicles, road layout, visible injuries, and identifying information for the truck and carrier. Keep receipts and records of missed work. Be cautious about giving a recorded statement to another party’s insurer before you understand what is being asked.
