Important Trucking Case Intake Info for Attorneys

There are several steps one can take when a trucking victim contacts you. First and foremost, CALL the Motley Rice trucking litigation team. Mary Schiavo, (ext. 9138) leads this part of the Motley Rice transportation practice group. The trucking team is prepared to handle the intake and complete all critical steps in trucking case evaluation. Second, SECURE all vehicles and trucks. Many tractor trailer companies immediately repair cabs and trailers and return them to service. Notify the company with possession of the vehicles that they may be the subject of litigation and must be kept in their post - accident condition. Use a chain of custody letter to document preservation if necessary. Third, GATHER all accident documentation including the accident report, EMS report, photographs, witness statements, autopsy reports, and insurance information. Fourth, IDENTIFY the potential defendant. Is this a licensed motor carrier? Who owns the truck? What kind of company is it? Is this a government owned vehicle? Do they regularly transact business in the state of the accident? And finally, FAMILIARIZE yourself with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and the Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for the state in which the accident occurred.

However complex the accident, the steps described herein are crucial to successful evaluation of a trucking case. Please see the websites below for more information on the regulations and statistics of this very unique section of transportation related accidents.
