Can you tell us about a memorable trucking accident case you handled?

Trucking accidents are always serious, just by the nature of the size of the vehicles involved. A memorable case I handled recently involved a driver who was rear-ended by a semi on the freeway after coming to a stop for traffic. The truck driver claimed our client cut him off and slammed on the brakes. Using data from both the truck and the car, we worked with an expert who created an animation showing that the truck driver’s testimony was not feasible—it couldn’t have happened the way he claimed. In fact, our client had been stopped for several seconds before being rear-ended. That evidence undermined the defense, and the case settled quickly after it was revealed.
How are truck accident cases different from other motor vehicle accident cases?

Trucking accidents are different because of the extensive regulations that apply to trucks on the highway. They are common carriers, so a completely different set of laws applies to them. Beyond that, in trucking cases it’s often not just the driver who may be liable. You may also look to the company that hired the driver, the entity that arranged the haul, or even the company whose merchandise is being transported. There are many layers that need to be examined before you can be satisfied that all responsible parties have been identified, which goes well beyond a typical automobile accident case.
