If you or a member of your family has been in a car crash involving a semi-truck or a commercial vehicle, it is imperative that you contact an experienced trucking accident attorney immediately.
Skilled Arizona Semi-Truck Accident Attorneys
At the Law Office of Jeffery J. Hernandez, we recognize that 18-wheeler accidents and commercial vehicle accidents are not just car accidents with bigger vehicles. These accidents cause very serious injuries, disfigurement and death. Because of that risk, there are a host of state and federal regulations designed to protect motorists from unsafe big rigs and unsafe drivers. A further complexity of truck accidents is the number of potentially responsible parties; the truck and trailer may be owned by different companies, and may be leased to yet another. Determining who is responsible requires an experienced attorney who can untangle the web of responsibility.
In semi-truck accident cases important evidence often disappears or is destroyed quickly. Unless you hire a lawyer who knows what evidence to look for in these cases, your case may be more difficult to prove. Examples of some of the evidence that needs to be preserved include:
- Safety records of the driver and the vehicle
- The driver's hourly driving log
- Evidence of intoxication
- Properly documented vehicle maintenance record
- Black Box and GPS Locator on the truck, which could assist in determining the speed of the truck at time of collision, and how long the vehicle was on the road.
