After a trucking accident has turned your world upside down, how do you find out exactly what happened and why? Law enforcement will investigate the matter, interview witnesses, and file a report, but a trucking accident investigation conducted by the authorities may not reflect an entirely accurate picture of what occurred. Sometimes the police miss important pieces of evidence or fail to interview eyewitnesses that can prove essential to your case. Our office provides legal representation and trucking accident investigations services to victims of trucking accidents in Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Hickory, and Asheville.
Don't rely on the police to get it right---count on Davis Law Group to act fast and extensively investigate the circumstances of your accident. Whether you have a serious injury or wrongful death claim, we ensure that no stone is left unturned by thoroughly:
- Interviewing witnesses, police officers, tow truck drivers, emergency medical personnel, doctors and nurses
- Examining police reports, toxicology reports, doctor's reports of injuries, and autopsy reports
- Preserving the evidence by making sure vehicles and other physical evidence are inspected, cataloged and photographed as soon after the accident as possible. It's also extremely important to document the scene of the crash, the time and day of the week it took place, as well as any special conditions that may have existed (construction, poor pavement, inadequate roadway signs).
- Gathering black box or ECM (Engine Control Module) information from the semi truck to assess exactly what happened in the minutes and seconds before and after the crash.
- Obtaining any log books or GPS (global positioning system) data to find out where the driver was in the hours and days before the accident. This information may reveal that the truck driver illegally spent too many hours on the road, which may have resulted in the accident.
The outcome of a detailed investigation can reveal the cause(s) of your accident and who the responsible parties are.
In preparing to negotiate your claim and/or go to trial, we routinely:
- Hire private investigators to investigate all angles of your case. We want to make sure your case is rock solid and that all possible evidence has been uncovered.
- Engage expert witnesses such as accident reconstruction specialists and medical experts to ensure that your case is presented with all of the facts.
- Don't rely on the insurance company or law enforcement to protect your rights. Rely on Davis Law Group to investigate your claim and ensure that you get the most compensation the law will allow.
