Booneville Truck Crash Attorneys
At the Michael Law Firm, we have a certified private investigator on staff. This is not something that every personal injury law firm has. We believe it demonstrates our commitment to conducting a thorough investigation and gathering all the facts necessary to build a strong case, a case designed to get you positive results in an 18-wheeler accident.
The Truck Driver Should Not Have Been On the Road
With more than 25 years of experience, very little catches us by surprise. When we conduct our investigation of a tractor-trailer injury, our lawyers and our investigator know what to look for. We look for the acts of negligence we have seen time and again, like truck drivers who have spent so much time on the road that they were driving while fatigued.
We know this is a common practice, even though there are laws that limit the number of consecutive hours a truck driver spends behind the wheel. Truck drivers have a job to do. They need to get their load from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible. Getting there faster means getting more work done, which can translate to a higher paycheck. Unfortunately, it also means putting other people in danger. When truck driver fatigue leads to accidents, we work hard to hold negligent drivers accountable.
The Role of Investigation in Driver Fatigue Cases
Truck drivers are not going to admit that they broke the law and spent too many hours on the road. They have logbooks, but those logbooks are easily falsified. Of course, we know that they will also keep real logbooks somewhere to ensure they are properly paid for all the time they put in. We will try to find those logbooks. We will compare the falsified logbooks to other information, such as gas station receipts, to determine the truck driver's true activities.
In Booneville and throughout Northeast Mississippi, truck accident victims turn to us because, whether through settlement negotiations or at trial, we have a strong record of success.
