Truck Accident Evidence Kit cover

What is inside

A critical-window evidence preservation guide for truck accident victims who must act within days to request black box data, driver logs, FMCSA records, and spoliation protection before trucking companies destroy or overwrite evidence.

  • Why Truck Accidents Are Different
  • The 30-Day Evidence Window: What Gets Deleted and When
  • Black Box (ECM) Data: What It Records and How to Request It
  • Driver Log and Hours of Service Records
  • Trucking Company Maintenance and Inspection Records
  • Spoliation Letter: When, How, and Who to Send It To
  • FMCSA Violation Research Guide
  • Multi-Defendant Identification: All Potentially Liable Parties
  • Police Report and Accident Reconstruction Evidence
  • Building the Attorney-Ready Evidence File

How to use the guide

  1. Save a copy and read its instructions before filling in fields.
  2. Use your records to enter facts and dates. Label anything that still needs confirmation.
  3. Keep your completed copy private. Check the recipient and the included information before sharing.
  4. Verify the applicable state rules. The guide does not decide coverage, legal deadlines, or claim value.

Who this is for

  • Truck accident victims in the first two to four weeks post-crash.
  • Families of fatal truck accident victims facing complex multi-party liability.
  • Anyone who has already sent a spoliation letter and needs a complete evidence system.
