EL PASO, Texas – In a recent segment of “Legal Jargon,” attorney Daniella Labinoti shared essential tips for individuals who have been involved in accidents with 18-wheelers. Her insights focused on the critical nature of evidence gathering and the complexities surrounding such cases.
Labinoti urged accident victims to capture ample evidence at the scene, including numerous photographs and videos, as well as collecting contact information from witnesses. She cautioned against communicating with the truck driver’s insurance company without legal assistance, explaining, “These companies are trained to not admit fault and they are trained to always blame the person they hit.”
The attorney pointed out the often intricate nature of truck collision cases, which may necessitate detailed accident reconstruction and thorough investigations. She recounted an instance where a truck driver had been on the road for 27 hours and ultimately fell asleep at the wheel, highlighting the need for expert evaluations to uncover vital evidence.
Labinoti also addressed the severe injuries that can result from collisions with large trucks, emphasizing, “The force by a semi is a lot. And the damages that could happen to your body in a semi can be significant.” Given the vast resources that trucking companies have to contest claims, she strongly recommended hiring a lawyer to navigate the complex legal landscape. “Make sure you have someone fighting for you,” Labinoti urged, reinforcing the necessity of having experienced legal representation in such high-stakes situations.
