Witness statements and contact information
Photographs from the scene

Hours of service logs
Toxicology reports
Attorney Mickelsen adds, “Based on the news articles, it is difficult to say who was the at-fault driver. In these situations, not only is it imperative to preserve the evidence mentioned above, but an attorney must also contact the responding officer as soon as possible to get the full picture. An attorney should send a letter of preservations of evidence to the trucking company so that material evidence is not lost, overwritten, or otherwise destroyed. And an attorney should retain an experienced accident reconstructionist to an expert to immediately analyze the scene.”
