Boca Raton Accident Attorney Services

Contacting a Boca Raton truck accident lawyer after a truck accident, semi-truck, or tractor-trailer accident should be done soon after seeking medical treatment. While any motor vehicle accident can cause permanent life-changing injuries, collisions involving a tractor-trailer can pose a particularly significantly lethal threat of catastrophic injuries and wrongful death.

While this size disparity poses a noteworthy risk of personal injury to occupants of the other vehicle in a truck collision, there are many other factors that make tractor-trailers extremely life-threatening. Collisions involving a larger truck do not amount to just a typical car accident involving a large vehicle. Tractor-trailer accidents pose exclusive issues and challenges for injuries to the accident victims.

Trucking accidents claimed the lives of 3,852 people in the recent year for which data is available, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Despite the significant decline in traffic-related fatalities during recent years, the percentage of people who lose lives in trucking accidents increased by 22 percent from 2009 to 2015. While most people would prefer to assume that they will not be injured in a trucking accident, the statistics show many people lose their lives in crashes involving large trucks and that the number is rising.

Spoliation of Evidence: If a big-rig is put back into service, critical information on the event data recorder (EDR) or the truck’s electronic control module (ECM) might be lost. These onboard data recorders are similar to the “black box” used to reconstruct crashes involving commercial flights. Depending on the device applied, black box data might include information about speed before the accident, shifting, location, sudden braking, malfunctions, and other vital information. Our Boca Raton truck accident lawyers send “spoliation letters” advising trucking businesses that the truck and black box are the subject of investigation and litigation and must be maintained in their post-accident condition. The warning letter advises the trucking firm that they will be subject to sanctions by the court of law if they disregard the letter. If we have reason to believe the trucking company might intend to proceed to take actions that could result in loss of the data, our law firm might file with the court for restraining orders.

Multiple Parties and Insurance Companies: Trucking accident lawsuits can become complicated because many such accidents can often involve more than two vehicles. This type of accident might cause a chain reaction, involving multiple vehicles that do not see the roadway obstruction timely. The number of potential parties will swell significantly because the commercial carrier, truck manufacturer, truck driver, shipper, truck component manufacturers, or independent maintenance firm all might be parties to the lawsuit depending on the facts or circumstances. The many potential parties that might be involved in a tractor-trailer accident lawsuit will also mean that multiple insurance companies are involved. Our law firm conducts a thorough investigation and uses the discovery process to identify all appropriate defendants and to determine the source and amount of all insurance coverage.

Industry Practices and Customs: When investigating the actions of a negligent truck driver, our lawyers have knowledge of trucking industry customs and practices. Our attorneys also work closely with experts with specialized knowledge of tractor-trailers and trucking industry practices so that we can identify potential issues.
