This video features Steven Gursten, a truck accident attorney and head of Michigan Auto Law ( [ Ссылка ] ). Steve discusses the importance of contacting a lawyer with extensive experience handling truck lawsuits immediately following a crash.
Why is this important?
Beware: In truck accident cases ( [ Ссылка ] ), important truck company documents that prove truck driver negligence can be legally destroyed within a very short period of time.
It is the truck accident attorney who knows how to preserve these documents and evidence and protect your legal rights.
Here's what Steve has to say in the video:
"Once evidence is legally destroyed because a lawsuit or a spoliation letter within the time period to require them to save that evidence (wasn't filed in time), it's gone. And evidence that could have added literally millions of dollars to a case — that really would have held that trucking company responsible for outrageous acts that they were committing — could have laid the foundation for a claim called punitive damages. Punitive damages means that conscious choices were made that put innocent peoples' lives in incredible jeopardy, and now (attorneys) can never show that (because the truck company evidence has most likely been legally destroyed). It's so important to talk to an experienced truck accident lawyer immediately, if for no other reason, then just to make sure that critical evidence is not destroyed."
