Evidence in a Commercial Truck Accident Case

Evidence in a Commercial Truck Accident Case

If you have been in an accident with a commercial truck, you should know what evidence is going to help you win your personal injury case. Evidence can vary by state so it is important to know what is going to be considered evidence where you live.

Log Books

The first thing that is going to be inspected after a commercial truck is involved in an accident is the log books. Log books are supposed to be maintained to include number of hours on the road, miles at a time, and number of hours that are spent sleeping or resting. These records are important because they ensure that drivers are not driving when they are tired or fatigued.

Witnesses

If you are involved in an accident with a commercial truck, make sure that you get the names and contact information for any witnesses if you are able to. These can come in handy in the future.

Medical Professionals

Medical professionals could also be called to testify. They might be asked questions about the injuries that you sustained and how these injuries could impair your ability to perform.

Data Recorders

Many trucks have on board cameras or another type of data recorder. These devices can be used to see if the driver was involved in dangerous activities before the accident occurred. These can show if the driver was being overly aggressive or if they were involved in other activities that could impair their judgement or behavior.
