Trucking accident cases are not ordinary car crash claims. They involve commercial insurance policies, federal safety regulations, driver logs, black box data, and multiple potentially responsible parties. Critical evidence disappears quickly — and the carrier’s insurer starts defending the claim immediately.

Evidence in trucking cases disappears fast. Driver logs, black box data, and inspection records can be overwritten or lost within weeks. The sooner an attorney sends a preservation letter, the stronger your case.
Before becoming an attorney, Raquel A. Muñoz served in the U.S. Army as a heavy equipment operator. That experience gives her firsthand insight into commercial and construction equipment, safety procedures, and the regulations that govern heavy machinery and commercial vehicles.
It means she knows what to look for in a maintenance log, what a driver was actually required to do before a shift, and when a carrier’s explanation doesn’t hold up. That understanding shapes the case from the first phone call.
Hours-of-service records showing whether the driver was legally allowed to be on the road.
Electronic control module data capturing speed, braking, and the moments before impact.
Service history revealing whether the carrier ignored known mechanical problems.
State and federal inspection findings that may show a pattern of violations.
Video from the truck or nearby vehicles, often deleted on a short retention cycle.
Policies Internal rules on hiring, training, and supervision that the carrier may have violated.
Tell us what happened. We explain who may be responsible and what the claim could involve.
We send preservation letters immediately so logs, data, and footage cannot be destroyed.
We work with qualified trucking and equipment experts to determine how the crash happened and whether safety rules were violated.
We pursue full compensation from every responsible party — and take the case to a jury if they won't pay what it's worth.

Often more than one party. Depending on the facts, responsibility may fall on the driver, the trucking company, a maintenance contractor, the cargo loader, or the vehicle manufacturer. Identifying every responsible party matters because commercial policies and coverage limits differ.
Driver logs, black box data, and dashcam footage are often kept for a limited time and can be overwritten. An attorney can send a preservation letter that legally requires the carrier to retain that evidence.
Commercial carriers are governed by federal and state safety regulations that ordinary drivers are not. They also carry larger insurance policies and typically have a defense team investigating from the day of the crash.
Nothing upfront. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney fee unless we recover for you.
