How We Investigate Big Rig Accidents
At the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth in San Gabriel Valley, you will find experienced lawyers who understand the importance of carefully investigating the cause of serious semi-truck accidents. Two things are critical in these investigations: resources and knowledge. We have ample resources. Having handled these cases since 1984, we also have ample knowledge, particularly of the federal guidelines trucking companies and truckers must adhere to.
Our Resources
Two of the resources that we may need to bring in to properly investigate and evaluate a truck accident are: experts on truck maintenance and truck driving, and accident scene reconstructionists. As a longstanding law firm with a strong network, our attorneys are able to bring in the best and the brightest to help us make your case a success.
Our Knowledge
The guidelines that govern the trucking industry are different from the laws that other drivers need to adhere to. There are rules that dictate the number of hours truckers can be behind the wheel, for example. We know how to closely analyze driver logbooks and the truck driver's medical records in order to determine if this particular rule was broken. Perhaps the trucking company put economic pressure on the driver to break this rule or to speed. We will find out.
Causes of California Trucking Accidents
Of course, the purpose of our investigation is to get to the cause of the trucking accident. Common causes are not limited to driver fatigue. Our investigation may reveal that the accident was not caused by the driver at all, but by a maintenance error that resulted from the trucking company failing to adhere to a maintenance schedule.
