Tractor-Trailer Accident Litigation

Impacts with tractor-trailers can result in severe injuries or death. Actions taken shortly after the accident often have a dramatic effect on the outcome of litigation. Appropriate steps to preserve physical evidence, investigate the accident scene, take witness statements are all essential to success. Physical evidence in the form of debris fields and skid marks, if available, need to be evaluated by a well qualified accident reconstructionist as soon as possible. Photographs of the accident scene need to be taken immediately after the accident. Witness statements need to be taken promptly in order to preserve critical evidence. We stand ready to represent you and to promptly take the action necessary to gather and preserve important evidence in order to obtain a successful outcome for you.

Several factors should be considered by a prospective client in seeking quality legal representation when a tractor-trailer accident occurs:

• Time is of the essence - an investigation should be completed promptly.
• A firm should be ready to investigate on short notice.
• A firm should have the ability to investigate quickly - Butler, Vines and Babb owns an airplane for this exact reason. 
• A firm should be able to evaluate medical issues - Butler, Vines and Babb employs a doctor and two registered nurses to assist with preparation of medical proof.
