How quickly does evidence disappear after a truck accident?

How quickly does evidence disappear after a truck accident?

Extremely quickly. Event Data Recorder (black box) data can be overwritten within 30 to 48 hours once the truck is moved and a new trip begins. Dashboard camera footage is often stored on a short loop — in some systems, as little as 24 to 72 hours. GPS telematics data may purge on a 30-day rolling basis. Driver logs must be retained for only six months under FMCSA rules. In short, every hour you wait is an hour the most critical evidence in your case may be disappearing. This is why contacting a truck accident attorney immediately is essential.
