When you contact a Brady / Donahue truck accident lawyer, we may carry out a thorough investigation and need you to document any evidence. We may also make a quick request to the trucking company to furnish us with a copy of the truck driver’s logbooks and GPS devices.With evidence in hand, we will also examine your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages to ensure that you get all the compensation you’re owed. If you’ve been in a truck accident, you are not alone. Brady / Donahue is here with the knowledge and resources to help you get the compensation you deserve.
