You may be familiar with the concept of a “black box,” particularly when it comes to airplane crashes. Large commercial trucks also have black boxes, though they are more commonly known as electronic control modules (EMC) or the event data recorder (EDR). The reality is that there are various types of information that will be gathered in the aftermath of a commercial truck accident that will contain data necessary to prove liability.
The black box of a truck will store various types of information about the vehicle if it was involved in an incident, which can be defined as a collision or a near-crash incident.
