We’ve handled quite a few tractor and trailer wrecks that occur on Van Drive in Jackson, Tennessee. It’s a very busy area. A lot of freight is transported along Van Drive in Jackson, Tennessee. One of the most important things in handling a tractor and trailer case is that it’s very different than a car wreck case.
It’s different in that the insurance companies, who ensure tractor and trailer drivers and companies, have their own team of attorneys and investigators who are at the scene of a wreck within a couple of hours of it occurring. So, we have a sense of urgency in tractor and trailer cases. We need to preserve the evidence, the tractor and trailer that’s been involved, and the log books, dash cams.
We retain experts who are very knowledgeable in these fields and they review the evidence. They arrive at the scene usually as soon as within 48 hours of being retained. They inspect the scene, the black box from the tractor and trailer — sometimes it’s called the event data recorder.
Oftentimes, they inspect the tract and trailer. We’ve handled many cases in Jackson, Tennessee and it’s our whole goal is to level the playing field so that our clients have the best opportunity for civil justice.
