How Proof-Checking Could Build Up Your Truck Accident Case
As Cedar Rapids, Iowa personal injury attorneys who handle truck accident cases, we have seen cases wrecked by small mistakes that could have been easily avoided. We feel it is our duty to help truck accident victims know these mistakes and how to steer clear of them. One such mistake is failing to proof-check the trucker’s log book.
The National Transportation Safety Board blames driver fatigue as a probable factor in 20-40% of tractor-trailer crashes. Some drivers even refer to log books as “comic books” because they are so easily falsified. That is why it is usually necessary to gather the GPS tracking records, the e-mail logs, the bills of lading and the gas receipts and then take a blank log book and properly fill in all events and times that are supported by independent proof. Such an exercise may uncover and law and regulation violations that explain why the truck wreck occurred.
