Armstrong Teasdale's transportation lawyers specialize in handling catastrophic collision cases that involve death and serious personal injuries. We recognize that these kinds of claims are complex and involve high stakes for trucking companies, potentially affecting business productivity and financial stability. As such, our lawyers stand ready to provide legal counsel from the time an accident occurs.
Our transportation industry defense team is available 24 hours a day – ready to respond to the scene of an accident as soon as notified. At the scene, we implement our Collision Response Program which includes interviewing drivers, preserving documents, locating witnesses and handling media and police inquiries. A team of professional photographers and videographers memorializes the accident site, the condition of the roadway, and damages to vehicles. Additionally, the group offers a stable of reconstruction specialists and forensic experts dedicated to evaluating the causes of the collision and to preserving electronic data. Our lawyers are members of an extensive network of defense lawyers, able to provide criminal defense counseling and representation to drivers who may face criminal prosecution in serious injury and fatality cases.
