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.
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.
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.
