Semi, grain truck and farm equipment crashes
A truck crash brings in a driver, a carrier, sometimes a shipper or a farm, and a set of federal records that won't wait forever.
I-29 and I-90 carry freight around the clock, and in fall the county roads fill with grain trucks and combines moving between fields. When one of them hits a car, the damage is rarely small.
A commercial carrier must keep driving logs, inspection reports and the truck's own data, but only for so long. We send a letter asking them to keep it the week we're hired, and Emir goes to the scene to photograph it before it changes.
Who can answer for a truck crash
The driver
Hours behind the wheel, phone records and training.
The carrier
Maintenance, hiring and the pressure it put on schedules.
Whoever loaded it
An overweight or shifting load is its own kind of fault.
A farm operation
Lights, flags and escorts that slow machinery on a highway should have.
Questions about semi, grain truck and farm equipment crashes
How soon should I call after a truck crash?
As soon as you're able. Some records a trucking company keeps can be lawfully discarded after a few months.
The trucking company's adjuster already called me. What do I say?
Take their name and number and say you'll call back. You don't have to discuss the crash, your injuries or a settlement.
Is a crash with a combine or a tractor handled like a truck crash?
Often it's handled under farm or general liability coverage instead. We sort out which policies apply.
