Truck and Tractor Trailer Accident Investigation

Prompt investigation of the accident scene is crucial. The trucking company will have its own team of investigators dispatched immediately. You need investigators who will look for you and document favorable evidence. Our investigators routinely visit accident scenes and take photographs of physical evidence.

Skid marks, yaw marks, accident debris, and gouge marks, as well as oil, gas, and radiator fluid stains can disappear quickly after an accident. The sooner you engage Chappell Smith & Arden to represent you, the sooner we can act to preserve critical evidence.

We also call on other experts in fields like engineering, accident reconstruction, life care planning, economics, and medicine who can play an important role in the successful prosecution of your case.
Experienced Truck Accident Attorneys
Remember that experience counts when an attorney is handling a personal injury case involving a tractor trailer or large truck. Truck drivers and their trucking companies must comply with a vast array of federal and state laws and regulations that do not apply to the ordinary motorist. These laws and regulations govern controlled substance and alcohol use, proper loading and tie-down requirements, maintenance and inspection procedures, licensing and driver qualifications, hours of service and much more. The trucking accident attorneys at Chappell, Smith & Arden are familiar with these laws and regulations and are prepared to explore whether the violation of one or more such laws and regulations caused or contributed to your accident.
