In this series of blogs, we will discuss various aspects of a truck crash case. This includes everything from the statistically most dangerous trucking companies to what happens after a truck crash occurs.
What is a truck crash Rapid Response Team?
When a truck driver causes a crash, his first call is often to their dispatcher. This is to notify the company of the crash. Importantly, the driver often does NOT call 911. The trucking company then dispatches a group of “experts” to the scene of the crash. They do this so their people arrive on the scene before the police or paramedics. The Rapid Response Team is typically comprised of a defense lawyer, an accident reconstructionist, and an investigator. These teams are always on call 24/7 to protect the interests of the trucking company.
What is the purpose of a Rapid Response Team?
Trucking companies claim these teams are sent to the crash site to preserve evidence. That is not always the case. The Rapid Response Team’s sole purpose is to minimize the financial exposure of the trucking company that was at fault for your injuries or your loved one’s death, and they will do everything to accomplish that goal. They do not have your best interest in mind. The Rapid Response Team will collect the evidence they need to defend the trucking company which gives them a significant head start over you. This is why hiring a law firm that understands all aspects of a trucking crash case is critically important for you. The truck company’s defense team is intent on minimizing your damages and recovery. Injured victims need compensation for their past and future medical bills, as well as their pain and suffering.
