Professional conduct in litigation
Truck accident cases are often complex, contentious, and high-stakes. Attorneys must adhere to strict professional conduct rules during litigation to ensure fairness, integrity, and respect for the justice system.
Inspection logs
Discovery process in truck accident cases
The discovery process is the phase of litigation where both sides exchange evidence and gather information. In truck accident cases, discovery is often extensive due to the number of parties, regulations, and technical evidence involved.
Pre-trial motions
Before a truck accident lawsuit proceeds to trial, attorneys often file pre-trial motions. These requests ask the court to resolve certain issues or shape how the case will be presented.
Maintenance and inspection logs
Maintenance and inspection logs are critical records that reveal whether a truck was properly serviced and safe to operate. They often become central evidence in determining liability after an accident.
Trucking company liability
While truck drivers are often the immediate cause of accidents, trucking companies themselves can also be held legally responsible. Their policies, oversight, and compliance with safety regulations play a central role in accident prevention.
Improper loading or cargo securement
Safe cargo loading and securement are critical to preventing accidents. Even if a truck is mechanically sound, poorly loaded or unsecured cargo can create deadly hazards for both the driver and the public.
