When it comes to truck accidents in Maryland, there are a lot of reasons why people should call Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers. In addition to the injury and the need for high-quality medical care when it comes to truck accidents, there are investigations that we do in tractor-trailer truck cases and trucking cases that we don’t do for just normal vehicle cases. And a lot of it has to do with the person in that truck or the tractor-trailer, and there is information we need sometimes at the scene of the crash. Sometimes we need to send an investigator out immediately, and he or she can look at skid marks; they can look at the vehicles themselves; they can look at the road conditions. And there’s a lot of information that we can get immediately from the scene of a tractor-trailer trucking crash that is not necessary in other types of accidents.
Additionally, tractor-trailers have black boxes, much like planes, and the sooner we can get that information out of the tractor-trailer, we can determine a lot of data: how fast they were driving, their breaking speed, and a lot of other information that’s really important because these tractor-trailers are big, big vehicles that have a lot more moving parts than your average car-on-car accident. Also, there’s other information that we need to gather. There’s logs—logs for the person driving, logs for the safety of that vehicle. You know, was that person supposed to be behind the wheel? If they were, were they driving too long? Did they take breaks?
When it comes to the safety of the vehicle, these are big vehicles with a lot of parts. Was it safely—or should it have safely been on that highway or that road? Are there any defects with the vehicle that may have caused the accident that the company that employs that driver knew or should have known about it? And all of that investigation, that we just don’t need for most other types of accidents, can literally make or break the case. If you’re injured in a trucking accident, we need to start investigating immediately. Call Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers today.
