Semi-trucks, delivery vans, and buses travel through Cincinnati’s neighborhoods every day. When one of these vehicles is involved in a collision, its size and weight can cause devastating injuries. If a commercial driver’s negligence left you injured, you may have a claim against both the driver and the company that owns the vehicle.

The Value of Legal Representation After a Crash with a Commercial Vehicle
After a crash involving a commercial vehicle, much of the evidence proving fault belongs to the vehicle’s owner. Driver qualification files, maintenance records, dashcam footage, and electronic logging device data can reveal whether a driver was overworked or a vehicle was unsafe. Federal rules allow companies to discard some of these records after a limited time.
An attorney can send a preservation letter immediately and, if necessary, seek a court order to secure this evidence. With those records, a lawyer can tie the crash to the driver’s distraction, fatigue, or reckless behavior or the company’s decisions, such as hiring an unqualified driver or skipping required inspections.
