When a commercial truck accident occurs in Texas, the moments that follow are critical. The line between insufficient compensation and true justice depends on swift, expert investigation. McKay Law TX has built a reputation as a leader in 18-wheeler accident litigation by combining rapid response with advanced forensic technology to deliver record-setting results for our clients.
The Power of Immediate Action: Our Rapid Response Teams
The first 72 hours after a collision are the most crucial for preserving evidence. Data can be lost, road evidence degrades, and witness memories fade. Trucking companies begin their defense immediately.
McKay Law TX counters this by deploying specialized investigation teams to accident scenes within hours. This rapid mobilization ensures vital evidence is documented and preserved before it can be altered or destroyed. We act to protect the truth from the very start.
Advanced Technology for Deeper Insights
We invest in state-of-the-art technology to uncover evidence that traditional methods miss. Our investigative toolkit includes:
- Drone Forensic Documentation: High-resolution aerial imaging and 3D mapping create a comprehensive model of the accident scene, revealing spatial relationships and evidence positioning that ground-level photos cannot capture.
- ECM Data Extraction: We use sophisticated equipment to download critical data from the truck’s Electronic Control Module (ECM), uncovering information about speed, braking, hours of service, and engine warnings that operators may have ignored.
- Accident Reconstruction Software: Our experts use cutting-edge simulation technology to scientifically recreate the collision. This demonstrates precisely how regulatory violations led to the accident, presenting a clear and compelling narrative of what happened and why.
Building an Irrefutable Case with FMCSA Expertise
Our investigators possess deep knowledge of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. We meticulously document violations that establish corporate negligence, including:
- Hours of Service Violations: Exposing falsified logbooks and company pressure that leads to driver fatigue.
- Vehicle Maintenance Failures: Uncovering neglected brake systems, tire issues, and other mechanical defects through independent inspections.
- Driver Qualification Deficiencies: Holding companies accountable for hiring unqualified or poorly trained drivers.
- Cargo Loading Violations: Identifying improperly secured or overweight loads that create hazardous conditions.
By leveraging our expertise in both federal regulations and Texas state law, we build powerful cases designed to secure maximum compensation for our clients.
