Collision and injuries associated with commercial vehicles require immediate contact with an attorney. Commercial vehicles have investigators standing by to respond to any emergency. These investigators are skilled at shifting the blame for the accident on you or someone else.
Both Federal and State laws require commercial vehicles to maintain records on trips made, miles driven, and driver’s qualifications. Both Federal and State laws require commercial vehicles to be periodically inspected and require commercial vehicles to maintain records.

However, these records only need to be retained for a very brief period of time. Many vehicles have CPS systems, as well as recording of speed, RPM’s, and other mechanical information. By law, this information can be destroyed as early as 60 days from the time of the collision.

While you and your family are dealing with the consequences of the accident and injuries, the clock is ticking, and potential valuable information may be lost. Contact an attorney as soon as possible.
