Is investigation important in a truck accident case?

A: A thorough investigation by an experienced law firm is extremely important in all cases, but even more so in truck cases. Drivers must keep a log and by law may only drive a certain number of hours per day. Therefore, it is important to establish whether the log was properly kept and whether the driver was within the allotted hours of driving time when an accident occurred. Violation of these standards may impose additional liability on the truck. Seeking immediate counsel with the law firm of Keller and Keller will help to ensure that evidence such as this does not disappear.
