Springfield Missouri Truck Accident Lawyer
Trucking companies are often under pressure to meet deadlines. As a result, truck drivers may drive long, extended periods of time without getting enough sleep or rest. Additionally, trucks may not be maintained properly or outfitted with appropriate lighting and reflectors to ensure the safety of other motorists. At the law office of David W. Ransin, I investigate truck accidents using accident reconstructionists, skid mark analysts, and other experts. As your attorney, I check the maintenance record of a truck, how many hours a driver logged, and whether any drugs or alcohol were found in a driver’s blood. My office also gathers eyewitness testimony to determine if a truck driver was seen driving erratically or too fast at the time of an accident.
I expose negligence on the part of truck drivers and hold them financially and legally accountable for my clients’ injuries. Demand compensation necessary to pay medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering—contact the law office of David W. Ransin today.

Experience Truck Accident Lawyer
Since the trucking industry is regulated by state and federal law, it’s important to work with an experienced truck accident attorney who understands how to identify violations on the part of truck drivers and their parent company. In order to comply with regulations, records must be kept, licenses must be issued, inspections must take place, and compliance must be verified. When I investigate a truck accident, I know what documents to request, how to handle evasive or difficult company record keepers, and how to expose attempts at covering up evidence.
