Protecting Your Rights After a Commercial Truck Accident
When you have been injured in an accident involving a commercial truck, whether as a driver, passenger or pedestrian, you need to move quickly to preserve evidence and solidify your case. If you don't, critical evidence could disappear. Trucking companies may destroy logs, either intentionally or in the ordinary course of business.
In many commercial trucking accidents, you can seek compensation from more than one party. The driver may have some fault, but the company can also be liable if they have taken actions that violate state or federal trucking regulations. Because of his considerable experience, Eddy Meeks can help you identify and seek damages from all potentially responsible parties.
Eddy Meeks has handled enough commercial trucking injury claims to understand the regulations that govern the industry. He knows how to read and interpret maintenance and driver logs, and can use them to demonstrate liability, including cases where drivers have not taken required breaks or are hauling too much cargo.
