Boston Massachusetts Semi Truck Accident:
Truck Accident Investigation

When a Pritzker Olsen truck accident attorney is hired for a serious injury or wrongful death case, we immediately launch an independent investigation. There are many questions that need to be answered, including:

  • Was the semi truck car accident caused by a distracted truck driver? (eating, talking on a cell phone, texting (DWT), reading)
  • At the time of the semi accident, was the truck driver drunk?
  • Was the truck driver in violation of the hours of service regulations? (too tired to drive safely)
  • Was speed a factor? (speeding or driving too fast for road or weather conditions, taking corner too fast and hit pedestrian or wheelchair in crosswalk)
  • Was there evidence that the semi trailer driver tried to stop?
  • Did the truck driver have a history of traffic violations and, if so, did the trucking company know that? (any previous crosswalk violations, hit pedestrian or hit motorized wheelchair)
  • Was the semi truck in good repair?
  • Did a defective semi truck part cause the accident?

Because evidence can be lost or destroyed, it is important to contact an attorney. Once retained, we send out a spoliation letter to the trucking company stipulating what documents must be preserved. Our lawyers inspect the semi truck and the other vehicle(s) involved in the semi - car accident. When necessary, we hire accident reconstruction experts. You do not have to pay anything up front, and we are not paid unless you win. We are paid a contingency fee. Contact a lawyer about being hit and injured by a semi truck.

Boston MA Semi Car Accident Liability:
