Truck Accident and Personal Injury Law in Idaho
Diligent Legal Help in Pursuing Your Fair Reimbursement
When car/truck collisions occur, car drivers and occupants most often experience serious injuries and a strong need both for financial compensation and experienced legal help. At the Boise, Idaho, law firm of Miller & Harr, PLLC, our attorneys have handled numerous truck accident legal claims and can skillfully and efficiently manage the numerous complexities of your case.
The preparation of a strong case for settlement negotiations and trial can involve the investigation of:
- The trucking company's monitoring and screening of its drivers
- Data obtained from the 18-wheeler's driver's log books
- Information obtained from the truck's transponder. Transponders resemble a planes "black box; they record information immediately before a crash, including truck speed.
- The truck's history of bypassing weigh scales
- The trucking company's history of following/evading Department of Transportation regulations
For instance, gas receipts can indicate that tractor trailer drivers were not where they said they were immediately prior to a crash. Subpoenaed records have revealed that trucking companies failed in their duty to maintain trucks. And employment records have revealed that drivers did not have a valid commercial drivers' license or had medical issues that should have prevented them from legally driving.
Trucking companies are required to carry liability insurance of two or three million dollars, and frequently carry coverage of five to ten million. If you or a family member was injured in a truck accident, there is likely insurance coverage available to provide the funds you need to pay for medical bills and compensate your for pain, suffering, mobility issues and other problems.
