You need to contact a San Francisco injury attorney immediately – one that is familiar with trucking accidents and the lawsuits that follow. Just as with any personal injury lawsuit, you have two years from the date of the accident in which to file your lawsuit.
However, in trucking accidents, federal regulations require that certain evidence only be maintained for a limited amount of time. Trucking companies have no interest in keeping this information beyond that limited time because it often works against them.
For instance, the truck driver’s log may be destroyed after six months if an attorney does not take appropriate action to keep the log available to investigators.
I understand how trucking companies operate and defend against accident cases because I represented trucking companies in catastrophic injury cases before opening my own practice.
If you or a member of your family have been injured due to a truck accident in the San Francisco area or throughout California, call me at (415) 293-8231 and let’s discuss your accident in detail.
