Information and Insight for Injured Iowans

     The actions that you take following a truck accident can have lasting effects. As Iowa personal injury attorneys, we understand the importance of acting quickly after a truck accident. While taking photographs and speaking with law enforcement officials is crucial to your truck accident claim, it is just as important to promptly obtain the trucking companies records from both before and after the accident.

     Because there are special laws and regulations governing semi-trucks and the people who drive them, there should be documents showing when the trucker last stopped, slept, or even checked his brake lights. Unfortunately, the trucking company can start destroying driver logs and the supporting documentation after just six months. That is why it is essential that a truck crash victim’s attorney send a retention of evidence letter to the trucking company, the trucker’s insurance company and the truck driver as soon as possible.
