What evidence is most important after a commercial truck accident?

Strong evidence can make all the difference in a trucking accident case. While photos of the crash scene and witness statements are valuable, commercial truck cases often involve evidence that isn't available in a typical car accident.

Important evidence may include:

• The truck's electronic logging device (ELD) and black box data
• Driver qualification and training records
• Hours-of-service logs
• Maintenance and inspection records
• Dash camera or surveillance footage
• Cargo loading documentation
• Police reports and crash reconstruction findings
• The trucking company's safety history

Some of this evidence can disappear quickly if it isn't preserved. That's why it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after a crash. At Marko Law, we move quickly to secure critical records before they're lost or destroyed.
