Semi-Truck Accident - Wreck Attorney
Texas is a hub for semi-truck activity. Many large trucking companies have high traffic levels in Texas and the greater Houston area. Of course this necessary industry stimulates the economy in these areas and helps ensure the availability of everyday products like food and clothing and other essentials. Unfortunately, it also increases the risks for personal injury or death caused by semi-trucks that are being operated incorrectly. When a semi-truck causes an accident with a passenger vehicle, it is almost always a given that the vehicle will sustain heavy damage, and the passengers will suffer injury, serious trauma, or even death.
It is very important to contact a knowledgeable attorney right away when you or a loved one are involved in a semi-truck accident. Because of the frequency of these accidents in their industry, truck companies usually have powerful truck wreck lawyers on their side from the very first minute after an accident. These lawyers will try to repress information that might help your case, information and evidence you might not even be aware exists.
Most trucks have mechanical and electronic information such as satellite communications system (SCS) transmissions or other technologies which can measure and record important information about the activity of the truck at all times. This information is transmitted to the trucking companies by the technology provider. The truck companies might purge this information from their files within days or even hours of an accident. Other technologies, such as ECM's or engine control modules similar to the "Black Box" technology in an airplane, can be crucial to proving liability in a semi-truck accident case.
If the victim doesn't act quickly, this important evidence could be lost due to internal truck company procedures that automatically erase this information after a certain length of time. These record retention policies are obviously designed to benefit the truck companies, and not the victims of a semi-truck accident. This information is easily altered or lost. If you don't have a top-notch attorney who knows how to litigate semi-truck cases to stand up for you, your case could be lost due to mangled evidence. Meanwhile, your medical bills continue to grow and the trauma suffered by you and your family goes unpunished.
