Familiarity with regulations governing the industry is a must, and we defend trucking clients in cases involving issues including weight, loading, lighting, driver qualifications and performance, and vehicle maintenance and repair. Our attorneys have litigated cases involving issues related to electronic control modules and claims arising from a variety of trucking accidents including rollovers, vehicle/ pedestrian, and multiple vehicle collisions. When cases have to go to trial, we bring courtroom experience backed by a deep reservoir of resources to our clients’ defense.
Our Rapid Response Team is prepared to assist our trucking and transportation clients 24/7. Serious accidents often occur outside of business hours, which is why our team is available to respond day and night.
Acting quickly after an accident can be critical to avoiding and/or defending claims and lawsuits. Physical evidence at an accident scene may only be available for a limited time after an accident, including point of impact, point of final rest, skid marks, tire tracks and debris fields. In addition, our Rapid Response Team protects the driver at the scene, identifies and interviews witnesses, and surveys businesses in the location for surveillance videos.
Throughout the years, our attorneys have been dedicated to serving our trucking and transportation clients by immediately commencing accident investigation. We routinely respond to the scene of trucking accidents throughout the State of Florida, day and night, to protect our clients’ interests. We take the necessary steps to ensure all available evidence is collected and preserved.
Our team partners with experienced investigators and experts in accident reconstruction who are on call with our attorneys to immediately respond after an accident. Together, we work with the investigators and experts to ensure key evidence is preserved, which protects against the potential of spoliation of evidence claims in the future. Our experts use state-of-the-art laser scanner equipment to quickly capture road conditions and evidence. The vast amount of data recorded by the laser scanner allows us to recreate the accident scene.
If your company or insured has been in an accident that needs immediate action, our team is prepared to assist.
