Do Not Let the Trucking Company Take the Lead
Truck drivers are trained to contact the trucking company immediately after an accident. Trucking companies are quick to mobilize. It is not surprising to see their investigators arrive at the accident scene even before the police. They will begin building their defense case right away, taking photos and gathering evidence. You have a choice: You can watch as the trucking company strengthens its case and potentially pulls evidence out of your grasp, or you can contact an advocate of your own to make sure you get justice.

What We Look for in a Louisiana Truck Accident Investigation
Of course we want to secure the accident report, as well as the photos and information the investigating officers gathered. We want to interview witnesses before memories fade. We want to dig into the driver's background and the trucking company's accident history.
There is much more to look at in a truck accident investigation than in other cases. Semi trucks have a computer installed, frequently referred to as the black box. This may show if the truck driver was speeding, among other important details. We also want to review driver logs to learn about hours spent on the road, although we are aware that fraudulent log books are not uncommon in the trucking industry. These details may disappear if the trucking company gets to them before us. One more reason for fast action.
