A thorough review.

TRUCKING ACCIDENTS

Follow the evidence beyond the point of impact.

A serious truck collision can raise questions about the driver, the vehicle, and the company operating it. Jon handles commercial trucking injury matters with attention to the information needed to evaluate responsibility and the losses caused by the crash. Depending on the facts, the review may involve drivers, motor carriers, or cargo-loading operations.

Questions a trucking claim can involve

• 18-wheeler and other large commercial vehicle collisions.
• Driver logs, vehicle maintenance, and available electronic or black-box data.
• Relevant federal motor carrier safety requirements and possible violations.
• The roles of the driver, trucking company, and cargo handlers.
• Serious injuries, ongoing treatment, and the evidence of longer-term loss.

Account for the recovery ahead.

When an injury requires continuing care, the claim review needs to consider more than the first medical bill. Discuss the treatment to date, known care needs, work disruption, and available records so the next steps reflect the circumstances of the injured person.

Responsibility may be shared or disputed. The parties and claims to pursue depend on the evidence in the particular collision.
