How do I know if a pre-trip inspection failure caused my accident?

How do I know if a pre-trip inspection failure caused my accident?

In many cases, you won’t know for certain until an attorney has obtained and reviewed the post-crash inspection report, the truck’s maintenance records, the DVIR for the trip in question, and the ELD data. If the truck had mechanical issues that contributed to the crash — brake failure, a blowout, lighting failures — a failure in the inspection and maintenance process is a natural place to look. Our attorneys can investigate and advise you on the strength of this theory in your specific case.
