Head-On Collisions by Trucks

Head-On Collisions by Trucks


A Head-On Collision by Trucks is rarely survivable. Those few who do survive this catastrophic accident almost always sustain severe, debilitating injuries and will require an experienced catastrophic injury attorney to handle such case. The weight and size of a truck overpowers a smaller, lighter car in any type of accident between these two vehicles. A head-on collision is much worse because of the combined speeds of the truck and the passenger vehicle. If you or someone you love was involved in this type of crash in Phoenix, Arizona, it is imperative to seek legal counsel immediately with a Phoenix head-on truck collision lawyer.

Investigating a Catastrophic Head-On Truck Accident

Hirsch & Lyon Accident Law P.L.L.C. is known for the thoroughness of our investigations. Our lawyers take action immediately after the truck crash to determine what happened and who is to blame. Our early investigation is particularly important in a head-on truck crash claim.

Establishing where on the roadway the collision took place is critical. An initial impact that occurred in your loved one’s lane of travel indicates that the truck crossed the center line into her lane. Initial impact in the trucker’s lane, on the other hand, gives rise to the assumption she crossed into the path of the truck, in which case we would look for other possible contributory factors. Considering this evidence, and in consultation with accident reconstruction experts, we pinpoint the location of the crash.

Accident Site

The accident site is often cleared quickly to allow traffic to flow freely. In addition, the trucking company has every incentive to dismantle the truck as soon as possible. Crucial evidence is lost forever once this occurs. Our head-on truck collision attorneys visit the site to measure gouge marks, skid marks and the debris field and to note any matters that might be relevant during our investigation. We also file an emergency motion to prevent the trucking corporation from destroying the truck until we can inspect it.

In addition, part of our job is to track down and talk to witnesses with information about the events leading up to and during the crash. We review black box data, including important evidence such as speed, steering, brake application, direction of travel and angle of impact. We inspect hours of service logs for proof of driver fatigue and phone records for indications of texting or cell phone use in the moments leading up to the accident.
