Scene of the Accident
Commentary
Anytime an accident involved a commercial vehicle, you’re going to want to make sure that a complete investigation of the scene is carried out. I have to say that in my time practicing law, time and time again I’ve seen trucking companies do all they can to push liability for accidents off of themselves and onto others. So if the truck is actually at fault for the accident, then victims are going to need evidence showing that when trying to prove their case. Chances are that the trucking company is going to have their own people investigating the crash themselves. It’s best to err on the side of caution, don’t let the trucking company dictate how you’re going to be treated, and have an independent investigation conducted.
