Documents Tell The Story

Investigating The Accident, Assembling The Evidence

In many cases, documents tell the story in an accident involving a commercial truck. Following a devastating truck accident, those involved may offer conflicting accounts of what happened. The truck driver, trucking company and other defendants often try to minimize any fault of their own and cast blame on the innocent victims. A thorough investigation can shed light on the circumstances leading up to the truck accident.

Painting The Picture

No investigation is complete without examining the documentation surrounding the accident. The trucking industry is flooded with documentation. Most day-to-day events in the job of a truck driver will leave a chain of documents, including:

Truck driver logs
Navigation system records
Maintenance and repair records
Inspection records
Dispatch records
Bills of lading
Weight tickets
Receipts
Personnel files
Driving records
“Black box” data from onboard systems

Like pieces of a puzzle, these various forms of documentation can collectively paint an accurate picture of what really happened before, during and after the accident. Locating the evidence and making those connections, however, require experience. Your attorney must know what to look for and where to find it.

Once this evidence has been gathered and pieced together, documents tell the story as we present the evidence to the judge or jury. Convincing these decision-makers of the truth requires more than just a detached, objective analysis. It requires telling a compelling story.
