Frequently asked questions
Commercial carriers are governed by federal safety regulations and generate records a passenger vehicle never would. More parties can also share responsibility, including the carrier, the driver, and maintenance contractors.
As soon as possible. Some electronic and log data is only retained for a limited period, and early written notice can help preserve it.
Depending on the facts, responsibility may extend beyond the driver to the trucking company, a maintenance provider, or the party that loaded the cargo.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis and you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover compensation for you.
