Investigating the driver  

The first thing your Los Angeles truck accident lawyer will do is investigate the truck driver. Your lawyer will go over police reports, eyewitness statements, and even interview the driver to determine if the driver was being negligent when the accident occurred. Negligent behavior can be anything from talking on a cell phone to poor driving.  

Your lawyer will also look into the driver’s past for any other errors, accidents, or negligent behaviors as this could indicate reoccurring negligence, and could also prove that the trucking company should be held liable as the employer is responsible for the actions of the employee while on the job.  

Investigating the truck  

A good lawyer will also investigate the truck itself. This is important because if poor maintenance or improper loading caused the accident, the trucking company, shipping company, or truck maintenance company should be held responsible for their part in the accident.  

Your attorney will look into the truck’s maintenance records, as well as the paper trail for the goods that were being shipped, who packed the truck, and other details.  

Pursuing the case
