The evidence you need after a truck crash in Georgia falls into two groups. You can save photos, names, and your own medical and wage records right away. The trucking company’s logs, driver file, and truck data must be requested in writing and preserved, and that should happen early.<\/p>\n

This guide walks through what to save at the scene, what to ask the carrier to keep, and what to organize for the months ahead. T. Madden & Associates, P.C. has practiced Georgia personal injury law since 1999, and the firm represents people hurt in truck wrecks.<\/p>\n

Why Evidence After a Truck Crash Is Different<\/h2>\n

A truck crash usually involves more parties and more records than a typical car wreck. The carrier, the driver, and sometimes a shipper or freight broker may each hold documents you cannot see on your own.<\/p>\n

Trucks also produce electronic data. Logging devices, engine systems, GPS units, and dashcams can record how the truck moved before the crash. Some of that information can be overwritten or purged on a company’s own schedule.<\/p>\n

Federal rules say records may be kept with any technology that accurately reflects<\/a> all of the information in the record and remains accessible in a form that can be accurately reproduced later for reference. That is why a written request to keep records, sent early, matters so much. That is why a written request to keep records, sent early, matters so much.<\/p>\n\n

The evidence you can save yourself starts at the scene, before vehicles are moved and the road is cleared. Focus on these items:<\/p>\n
