What are the key ways truck accident lawyers determine what caused the accident?

Truck accidents in the past were hard to decipher and the only insight that one could receive about the accident would be in the form of witness accounts and law enforcement reports. Unfortunately, in some cases there was no information at as to what happened if there were no witnesses or survivors.

However, thanks to advances in technology and in the field of accident investigation, truck accident investigators and re-constructionists are now able to fully understand the cause of a truck accident by investigating it and Bulman Law Associates know how to implement this information into their cases with acumen.

Some truck accidents are pretty simple though. Have you seen the movie Heat? The truck accident in the beginning was for bearer bonds. The accident was because of greed!

Some of the key data in truck accident cases may be acquired either through government agencies or data housed in high tech input recording devices which are pretty much the black boxes of trucks. These devices record every input made by the driver be it power settings, brake application, steering maneuvers, etc. This device can be used as evidence and Missoula, MT truck accident lawyers know how to tie this into their case and there is no law firm better in this part of the country than Bulman Law Associates.



How government agencies help in uncovering what transpired in a truck accident

Truck accident investigators or truck accident re-constructionists are usually employees trained by government agencies such as the police division of the state in question and are also employed by these agencies. They can also be contracted out by Missoula, MT truck accident lawyers and the best law firm in the market in this area of law is Bulman Law Associates. After a truck accident, apart from responders such as law enforcement officers and emergency medical technicians, truck accident re-constructionists are also dispatched to the accident site.

Law enforcement officers are trained not to meddle with evidence (such as debris) and usually fence of the accident site for investigation by restricting public access for the time being, depending on where this accident is. If it is in a key city artery, or busy freeway, the investigation will be quick since traffic needs to flow. But with digital cameras and so on, it does not take too long to gather the right evidence. Moreover, they only move or touch this kind of evidence when required to rescue an occupant that is stuck, etc.

The accident investigator or re-constructionist assigned to a truck accident will usually work with a team and conduct an in depth investigation after which they will need to prepare an accident report.

If you have been involved in a truck accident and need to recover damages then you will have to file a civil lawsuit against liable parties. However, to prove their negligence requires evidence and the accident investigation report may be used as evidence. Talk to a truck accident attorney in Montana today such as Bulman Law Associates to find out how you can get your hands on this report and use it in a court room to effectively win your truck accident claim and be awarded compensatory damages.

Data from high tech recording devices

Gone are the days when only aircrafts were fitted with black boxes. Truck manufacturers are now mandated by federal and state specific laws to fit their trucks with high tech recording devices which record the input of the drivers, and also the output/performance on the engine and the truck itself.

Soon cars will be outfitted with this technology too. Just think how far society would be along if companies were not taxed as much as they are. This type of innovation would never come out of countries like North Korea and Cuba. Black box technology is also a product of competition. Without competition, human society would be stagnant like it is in North Korea and Cuba and many Arab countries as well (not the ones with oil and natural gas though!).  

After an accident, this data is closely studied and often reveals why the accident was caused (over speeding, brake failure), and Missoula, MT truck accident lawyers implement this evidence into their cases for their clients to enhance their already formidable case. There is no law firm superior at this than Bulman Law Associates and no law firm has the integrity of Bulman Law Associates either.
