Missouri Automobile & Truck Case Lawyers
AUTOMOBILE AND TRUCK CASES
Big Truck Crashes.
The moment a crash happens involving a big truck, the insurance company sends its Crash Team to the scene. Its mission is to control the evidence and protect the insurance company so it does not have to pay.
According to U.S. Government statistics, there are 500,000 collisions per year involving a tractor trailer. The cause of these crashes ranges from poor truck maintenance to plain old careless driving. Often, the truck drivers are operating under a deadline. They become tired and overworked. Still, they rush to meet deadlines at all costs. The result is deadly.
At CBPW, we have tried and settled dozens of big truck cases worth millions of dollars. We know the tactics the Crash Team will use. We know Federal Regulations the drivers are supposed to follow. We know how critical it is to get to the scene and document the case.
When a crash with a big truck happens, call a lawyer as soon as possible. We can stop the Crash Team and preserve the evidence you will need for your case.
Ask law enforcement working the scene to examine all logbooks in the big truck. This will tell if the trucker followed federal law.
Find out where the big truck will be taken following the crash.
Take the name of anyone at the scene investigating who is not law enforcement, but do NOT talk to them about the facts of the case without a lawyer.
