Is Your Philadelphia Car Accident Attorney Doing The Best Job Possible?
When a car accident happens, it often results in catastrophic injuries and many times, unfortunately, in fatalities. It is important when investigating a catastrophic car accident case that the attorney leave no stone unturned. Investigators should check surveillance cameras in the area of the accident, as well as promptly interview any and all witnesses. This experienced Philadelphia car accident lawyer will often subpoena the cell phone records of the driver alleged to be at fault to determine whether or not that person was texting or speaking on a cell phone and not paying full attention to the rules of the road.
As noted in regard to a recent high profile school bus crash in Perkiomenville, surveillance videos, as well as videos on the bus depicted multiple traffic violations and the offending fatigued driver blew through ten stop signs before making a sudden and darting left turn in front of another vehicle, killing that car’s passenger with a student-filled bus. A careful background check of a defendant will indicate prior offenses and many times reveal that defendants believe that the rules of the road do not apply to them.
It is also important to note where the defendant driver was prior to the accident. For example, if that person had been in a bar, restaurant or night club drinking, there may be a potential Dram Shop action. A careful examination of the car and a black box download should be made in certain circumstances to determine whether there was an automotive product liability defect which contributed to the accident and the resulting injuries.
