Truck accidents are more complex than standard accidents due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, dual tandem semi trucks and 18-wheelers. In the wake of a collision, a thorough accident investigation becomes crucial to find the truth and safeguard your injury compensation.
Pendergast Law has been at the forefront of truck accident injury cases in Seattle and across Washington State for nearly three decades. Our attorney investigators are well-versed in these accident cases to help ensure no critical detail is overlooked when building your case to secure justice.
The Importance Of Swift And Comprehensive Investigations
Truck accident investigations require:
- Forensic analysis of the crash scene
- Examination of the vehicles involved
- Review of electronic logging devices and dashcam footage
- Scrutiny of the truck driver’s hours of service records
- Assessment of truck maintenance logs and inspection reports
We can delve into every angle of the accident, from a potentially fatigued driver to possible mechanical failures or unsecured loads. Through our efforts, we can find critical evidence of negligence that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Uncovering The Truth Behind Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can stem from:
- Overloaded trucks
- Jackknife incidents
- Brake failures
- Underride guard collisions
- Blind spot mishaps
- Defective parts
We can work with industry experts to analyze data from the truck’s black box, reconstruct the accident scene and determine liability.
