They act quickly to preserve critical evidence before it disappears, thoroughly investigate all aspects of the crash, and identify every responsible party, from drivers to trucking companies to vehicle manufacturers, to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

Common Questions
Why are truck accident cases more complex than regular car accidents?
Truck accidents involve federal transportation regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, corporate defendants, complex insurance coverage, and typically more severe injuries. Additionally, crucial evidence like driver logs, maintenance records, and electronic control module data must be secured quickly before it’s lost or destroyed.
Who can be held liable in a commercial truck accident?
Potential liable parties include the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, truck owner (if different from the company), maintenance contractors, truck or parts manufacturers, and even brokers who arranged the shipment. Brian and Fletcher conduct thorough investigations to identify all responsible parties and their insurance coverage.
What types of evidence are important in trucking accident cases?
Critical evidence includes the truck’s electronic logging device (ELD) data, driver qualification files, hours-of-service logs, maintenance records, post-accident drug testing results, truck “black box” data, dispatch records, load securement documentation, and the truck itself. Brian and Fletcher move quickly to preserve this evidence through legal holds and court orders when necessary.
How long do I have to pursue a claim after a truck accident?
While Arizona’s standard two-year statute of limitations applies, trucking cases demand immediate attorney involvement. Critical evidence can disappear quickly, and trucking companies begin building their defense immediately after an accident. Brian and Fletcher recommend contacting the firm as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve vital evidence.
What compensation is available for truck accident victims?
Victims may recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future medical care, diminished earning capacity, permanent disability, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and property damage. In cases of egregious negligence, punitive damages may also be available. Brian and Fletcher work with medical and economic experts to fully document all current and future damages.
