Some of the evidence you’ll need in a truck accident case includes the truck’s black box data and maintenance records, the police report, photos or videos of the wreck or aftermath, and your medical records.
Don’t stress about trying to collect all that evidence on your own. Instead, make “One Call…That’s All!” to schedule a free consultation with a Milwaukee truck accident lawyer from Gruber Law Offices.
We’ve been helping Wisconsinites since 1984, and we know exactly how to get all the evidence needed in a truck accident case. Also, there’s no fee until we win, so contact us today.
Evidence You Need in a Truck Accident Case
If you don’t know where to find the evidence we list below, don’t worry about it.
The experienced attorneys at our firm will collect and protect all this evidence for you while you focus on recovering from your injuries.
Load and Cargo
To determine whether improper loading played a role in the accident, we’ll get the vehicle’s:
- Delivery documents
- Dispatch instructions
- Trip envelopes
- Weight tickets
- Bills of lading
Police Report
The police report will list important details about the crash, including which vehicle was primarily responsible and whether certain factors–like the weather or driver impairment–played a role in the accident.
Driver Records
Driver records that can prove whether they were qualified to drive the truck and include things like:
- Pre- and post-inspection records
- Hours-of-service documentation
- Training file
Insurance Policies
Like any other accident, you’ll need to get the truck driver’s insurance information so you can contact them to pursue compensation for the damages you suffered in the crash.
Expert Witness Testimony
Expert witness testimony from medical, vocational, or other professionals can help the jury understand the facts of the case.
Truck Maintenance Records
Trucking companies and drivers must maintain, repair, and inspect their trucks, so the maintenance records can prove invaluable if the condition of the truck may have contributed to the accident.
Employer Documents
Documents from the trucking company could implicate them in the crash. The type of records we’ll search for include:
- Fuel receipts
- Dispatch records
- Communication between the trucking company and the driver
- Inspection reports
- Trucker daily log
- Training and safety policies and manuals
Black Box Info
Just like in planes, trucks contain event data recorders known as a “black box.” The recorded data includes whether the driver applied the brakes right before the crash and how fast the vehicle was moving when it hit you.
Pictures or Videos
The more pictures or videos we can find of the crash or the aftermath, the better.
If you were too injured to get out of your vehicle and take photos at the time of the accident, we’ll look for things like:
- Dashcam videos
- Body camera footage from police who responded to the crash
- Surveillance videos from nearby businesses
- Traffic camera footage
Medical Records
Your medical records provide important evidence because they show that you were injured in the wreck and how those injuries affected your life.
