If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident with a truck, chances are you are suffering from significant injuries, not to mention emotional trauma. An experienced attorney can get the compensation you need for medical and other expenses. They will help investigate your accident and take actions to prove your case—many of which you may not even realize you need to do. Below are 10 ways an attorney works for you after a truck accident.

  1. Preserving all evidence related to your truck accident. This may require filing a spoliation letter. This is a document that informs all parties involved in the accident that evidence must not be concealed, destroyed, or altered in any way. Violating this order can lead to serious penalties.
  2. Getting law enforcement reports made of the accident.
  3. Visiting the scene of the accident to gather information and evidence.
  4. Contacting witnesses to the accident and taking statements from them.
  5. Requesting and procuring any digital evidence that can provide evidence for your case. This would include dashboard camera footage, the truck’s Electronic Control Module, GPS data, and cell phone records.
  6. Accessing the latest safety inspection records of the truck.
  7. Obtaining information on the truck driver’s qualifications as well as his or her driving record and training reports.
  8. Procuring the employer records on the driver and information about the trucking company’s hiring practices.
  9. Getting information on the cargo in the truck—how it was loaded and who was responsible for the loading.
  10. Finding and securing an expert who can reconstruct your accident.

10 Actions Your Attorney Can Take to Help After a Truck AccidentThere are many reasons for a truck accident. A lawyer with experience in this type of personal injury case will know where to look and how to secure the information needed to successfully pursue your case and get you the damages to which you are entitled.

I was in a very bad/ major car accident I originally had an attorney who wasn’t trying to help me out much or take any of my calls so I called Tiemann and told them my situation. They made it an AWESOME and Smooth transition over to them and took on both cases I had. I just settled on my big case and am beyond great full. For them and their team! I highly recommend them. To add on to this a little On how much they will work with you, I moved to Montana in the middle of all Of this and it was not an issue!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
