In the wake of a truck accident, victims are left with the tall task of working against trucking companies and their insurance carriers. The trucking industry is big business, and the companies that insure truck drivers will not hesitate to take full advantage if they recognize an opportunity to discredit you and your case. This could mean, for example, taking a statement from you while you are in your hospital bed on heavy medication or attempting to hide the fact that the trucker involved in your wreck was driving while fatigued due to hours of service rules violations.
For years, the truck accident attorneys at Mike Love & Associates, LLC have helped truck crash victims in Texas hold the negligent truckers and trucking companies responsible for their pain and suffering accountable.
Founding partner Mike Love owned a trucking business earlier in his career. His trucking company was based out of Angelina County and specialized in hauling heavy loads. During his time in the trucking industry, Mike never allowed his company to employ dangerous practices to make a profit. However, Mike did witness how others within the trucking industry cross the line to turn a profit. Therefore, Mike can succeed where other trucking attorneys have failed, because he knows exactly where the smoking guns are hidden when it comes to truck accidents.
Immediately after a truck accident, the trucking company and its insurer will have representatives on the scene. Their job is to gather evidence to help them argue that the trucker was not at fault for the wreck and/or begin building a case against truck accident victims to limit the amount of compensation they could receive as a result of the crash. In some cases, trucking and insurance company representatives will begin discrediting truck accident victims while victims are still recuperating in the hospital.
Time is of the essence to prove fault after a truck accident. In many cases, there can be several variables that could have led to the crash, including:
The best way to prove fault following a truck accident is to begin investigating the incident as soon as possible. Gathering and preserving evidence before it is lost, concealed or destroyed is crucial. Examples of truck accident evidence include:
