The statistics of fatalities and injuries involving commercial truck collisions are staggering.  Nearly 5,000 people died in 2006 in accidents involving commercial trucks.  Another 106,000 people were injured that same year.  Of the deaths, 85% were not truck occupants.

The preparation of a commercial truck collision case requires intense and immediate investigation of the collision scene, truck company, and commercial driver.  Commercial truck collisions involve complex issues including engineering, vehicle mechanics, and state and federal regulations.  The federal regulations impose certain requirements upon commercial truck companies.  However, the federal regulations require certain evidence be maintained for only a limited period of time by the truck company and commercial driver.  For this reason, prompt investigation is imperative for the preservation of critical evidence in each commercial truck collision case.

The lawyers with Lovell, Lovell, Newsom & Isern, LLP have significant experience in handling commercial truck collision cases.  They have also prepared and presented lectures on commercial truck litigation to other attorneys at continuing legal education seminars.
