How We Prove a Truck Driver Was Texting and Driving
To avoid accepting liability, trucking companies often suggest there is no clear way of knowing what a driver was doing in the moments before impact. However, in many truck collision cases in Orlando, it is possible to prove texting and driving as the cause by promptly collecting evidence.
At The Florida Firm, our team acts quickly to preserve evidence before it disappears. This includes obtaining cell phone records that show texting activity, app usage, or data connections at the exact time of the crash. Obtaining these records requires immediate legal action to prevent deletion or alteration.
We also analyze electronic data from the truck itself, such as event data recorders, GPS information, and telematics systems that document speed, braking, and driver inputs just before the collision.
Beyond digital data, we review dispatch logs, delivery schedules, and internal company communications that may show pressures put on drivers to stay connected while driving. This approach is one reason other law firms trust us to handle serious truck accident litigation.
Who Is Responsible for a Distracted Driving Truck Crash?
In many Orlando accident cases, responsibility for truck collisions involving texting and driving often extends beyond the driver. While the driver’s conduct is central, trucking companies may also bear responsibility for unsafe practices, inadequate supervision, or failure to enforce safety rules. In any distracted commercial vehicle crash case, it is essential to identify every responsible party to secure full compensation.
State law allows injured people to pursue claims against employers when drivers are acting within the scope of their work duties. This means accountability may extend to the trucking company, its insurers, and sometimes additional corporate entities involved in the operation of the truck. These cases require careful analysis and experience in handling corporate defendants that aggressively defend claims.
At Colling Gilbert Wright, we have decades of experience taking on well-funded companies and insurers. Our shareholders include attorneys with more than 40 years of practice in Florida courts, supported by a full team devoted to complex personal injury litigation. We are known in the legal community for our professionalism and our readiness to take a case to a hearing or trial when it is in the best interests of the client.
