What records can a trucking accident lawyer subpoena?
Our trucking accident lawyers can subpoena: electronic logging device (ELD) records, GPS tracking data, maintenance and inspection records, driver qualification files (employment records, driving history, drug tests), dispatch records and communications, cargo manifests and weight tickets, and the trucking company's safety compliance history.
What is an owner-operator and how does it affect my claim?
An owner-operator is a truck driver who owns their vehicle and contracts with trucking companies or freight brokers. Determining liability is more complex with owner-operators — we pursue the driver directly, any company that hired them, freight brokers who arranged the load, and shippers who may have improperly loaded cargo. This complexity is exactly why you need a specialist.
How do weather and road conditions affect trucking accident liability?
Weather and road conditions don't reduce a trucking company's liability — they increase it. Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard and are required to adjust speed and behavior for conditions. Driving too fast for icy roads or continuing in dangerous conditions despite safety regulations is negligence, not an excuse.
