How Data Helps Us Fight for Truck Accident Victims
When a truck accident happens, the aftermath can be devastating. At Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, we’re dedicated to fighting for injury victims and helping them get the justice they deserve. In a recent interview with WKYT, our attorney Jon Hollan discussed a critical tool we use in these cases: data.
The Challenge of Truck Accident Investigations
Truck accidents are often complex, involving multiple parties and intricate regulations. Determining fault can be difficult, and trucking companies often have vast resources at their disposal. This is where data becomes invaluable.
Data as Evidence
Jon explained how data from various sources, including Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs), telematics systems, and even dash cams, can provide crucial evidence in a truck accident case.
This data can reveal:
Driver Fatigue: Was the driver exceeding hours-of-service regulations?
Speeding: Was the truck driver speeding at the time of the accident?
Distracted Driving: Was the driver using a cell phone or engaging in other distractions?
Maintenance Issues: Was the truck properly maintained? Were there any pre-existing mechanical problems?
Leveling the Playing Field
Access to this data allows us to level the playing field for our clients. It provides concrete evidence to support their claims and helps us reconstruct the events leading up to the accident. This is essential for holding trucking companies and drivers accountable for their negligence.
Protecting Your Rights
Jon emphasized that understanding and preserving this data is crucial for protecting the rights of truck accident victims. At Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, we have the experience and resources to investigate these cases thoroughly and gather the necessary evidence to build a strong case.
