St. Louis Truck Accident Lawyers
In order to succeed in a truck accident case, an attorney must prove what caused the accident and that it was an act of negligence.
The Hullverson Law Firm has obtained compensation for many truck accident victims in Missouri and Illinois. Our attorneys know the steps that need to be taken in order to find out what type of negligence caused an accident. In our experience, two of the most common causes are intoxication and driver fatigue.
The Police Report May Have the Information We Need
When the police arrived at the truck accident scene, perhaps the officer found that the cab of the truck was littered with empty bottles of 5 Hour Energy drinks. This is clear evidence that the driver may have been on the road for too many hours. Perhaps the officer found drug paraphernalia. Perhaps the officer conducted a breath test of the truck driver and the driver failed. Evidence like this will be available in the police report.
Further Investigation of Truck Accident Claims
The information we need may not always be easily found in the police report. Our attorneys understand the importance of moving quickly to talk to witnesses and review all evidence, such as the driver's logbooks.
Witnesses may indicate that the driver was seen in a bar prior to the accident. Review of the driver's log books may reveal that the driver had spent far too much time on the road and was most likely fatigued. We will gather all of the facts necessary to prove what type of negligence caused the truck accident injury.
