Understanding the Types of Legal Services A Truck Accident Firm Offers
In the aftermath of a truck crash, it is up to the collision victims to identify all the potential defendants who they could pursue a claim against, file their case, and gather evidence to make a strong claim. Drafahl Law Firm can help you do that. Our firm will:
- Explain vicarious liability laws that could result in trucking companies being held accountable for the on-the-job actions of drivers.
- Determine if drivers violated any motor carrier safety regulations, which could create a presumption of negligence
- Gather evidence like driver log books and truck maintenance logs, as well as black box data from the truck, to make your claim as strong as possible
- Find appropriate expert witnesses who can help to show the extent of damage as truck accident claims often cause severe injury.
- Negotiate an out-of-court settlement or make a compelling claim in court so you can meet your burden of proof and recover truck accident damages.
We have recovered millions for truck crash victims and we are prepared to go the distance to help you maximize the compensation you deserve.
