We take the following actions in a typical truck accident case:
Request the driver qualification file (DQF) from the trucking company. This document is a legal requirement, and it includes the driver’s driving history, medical test results, and other information.
Examine the truck’s event data recorder (“black box”) for relevant data;
Collect eyewitness testimony;
Review police reports;
Examine the scene of the accident;
Inspect the truck;
Take other actions as circumstances demand.
