(314) 500-HURTYou have just been involved in a truck crash and the last thing on your mind is finding a truck accident attorney to
represent you in your truck accident claim. We understand that recovering from your injuries is your top priority. Your
health and wellbeing is our first priority, too. But, we don’t want to downplay the very thing that could be harming
your chances of a financial recovery right now. That very thing is the fact that investigating your case can NOT wait.
There are two very important factors that are set into play as soon as the collision occurs. The first is that
the trucking company has likely deployed its own team of lawyers and investigators within the first 24 hours
following the accident. This team of lawyers and investigators works for the trucking company and is
charged with finding and preserving any and all evidence that can limit and even defeat your claim for compensation.
They already have their investigative team on the case, you should have one too.
The second factor is the fact that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
only requires commercial trucking companies to preserve key pieces of evidence for a short period of time following
the accident. After that time period is up, the trucking companies can destroy that evidence. When we are
quickly engaged in the investigative process after your accident, we can pursue the proper legal channels to collect and
preserve that key evidence before it is destroyed.
If there is only one thing that you take away from this information, it is that you need to speak with an experienced
truck crash attorney as soon as possible to discuss your legal options. With that being said, the choice of a lawyer is
an important decision and should not be made with haste. Take the time to vet your lawyer by reading client reviews and
inquire further about their process and how they can help you. The St. Louis
truck accident attorneys at Burger Law represent injury victims throughout Missouri, Illinois and the greater
Midwest. We are happy to discuss your legal options for free today. Call us toll-free at (314) 542-2222 or request a
