Sacramento Truck Accident Lawyer
After a truck accident causes serious injury or takes the life of the occupants in another vehicle, a diligent personal injury attorney will investigate facts pertaining to the crash, and analyze those facts. Analysis should give a clear idea about who was most likely at fault or responsible for the truck wreck. Often, one of our experienced truck accident lawyers uncovers some error or omission on the part of the truck driver, such as the following:
- Driving while fatigued
- Driving while under the influence of any type of drug, such as over-the-counter medications designed to help someone stay awake
- Failure to inspect or weight the truck as required
- Failure to tie down cargo properly
A truck driver is expected to maintain a log including information such as the number of hours he or she rested and when and where fuel was bought. After an accident, the truck driver must preserve the log book for a certain period of time. Destroying it or hiding it is illegal, and semi truck drivers know that.
That's why it is important to talk to a Sacramento truck accident attorney as soon after the accident as possible while key evidence, such as the truck driver's log, is still accessible. The longer you wait to call a lawyer, the more likely it is that such evidence will not be found. It will end up being a mystery whether the truck driver complied with rules and regulations — or bent the rules.
