Understanding Truck Accident Claims

Commercial vehicle accidents involve unique mechanics and legal frameworks significantly different from standard auto collisions.

Severity Scale

Don't just say "it hurts." Use a 0-10 scale. Explain what the pain prevents you from doing (e.g., "Level 7 - unable to sit for more than 15 mins").

Frequency & Duration

Note when pain occurs. Is it constant, or does it flare up during specific tasks? How long does a flare-up last? Be precise with timestamps.

Impact on Daily Life

Document activities of daily living (ADLs) that are affected: sleep quality, inability to lift children, or needing help with basic chores.

Critical Evidence & Documentation

Unlike car accidents, commercial trucking claims rely on federally mandated data logs. This evidence is time-sensitive and often overwritten.

 

ECM "Black Box" Data

Vehicle speed at impact
Brake application timing
Engine RPM and throttle position

ELD Logs

Hours of Service (HOS) compliance
Rest break verification
GPS location history

Company Records

Driver hiring & qualification files
Vehicle maintenance logs
Cargo loading manifests

Spoliation Warning: Trucking companies may legally destroy certain records after a short period (sometimes as little as 6 months). A "Spoliation Letter" must be sent immediately to preserve this evidence.

Traumatic Brain Injury

From concussions to severe cognitive impairment due to the sheer force of impact.
