Choosing a lawyer to represent your interests is important in every case, but in truck accident cases, it is especially important to act quickly in order to preserve all available evidence. The stakes tend to be much higher in truck accident cases, and evidence can quickly disappear. Further, trucking companies are only required to preserve certain pieces of evidence for a set period of time, meaning that it becomes legal to destroy potentially valuable evidence after too much time passes. Retaining a lawyer as soon as possible gives you the best possible chance of recovering the most compensation possible in your case.
