Everett Fatal Drunk Driving Accident Law Firm
Holding negligent, reckless drivers financially liable for fatalities they cause begins with explaining how a fatal car or truck accident happened and why. At the personal injury law office of Carter & Fulton, our attorneys take photos at the scene of an accident, collect eyewitness statements, measure skid marks, and work with accident investigators and investigating law enforcement personnel in collecting and analyzing evidence. Regardless of whether a truck, car, or motorcycle was involved, we have the tools and knowledge needed to determine if speeding, cell phone texting, traffic violations, or other factors were involved in a fatal car crash. If the driver responsible does not have enough insurance to cover the damages awarded, we can represent survivors of the deceased in a wrongful death suit targeting other assets or sources of insurance, including excess, umbrella or uninsured/underinsured (UIM) coverage(s).

Fatal Truck Accidents – Holding Trucking Companies Liable
The trucking industry is regulated by a number of state and federal laws. These regulations govern how many hours a driver can drive, how often a vehicle should be maintained, periodic drug testing, licensing, required maintenance and pre-trip inspections, the hauling of hazardous materials, and weight restrictions. When truck drivers speed, exceed the amount of allowable drive time hours, overload their truck or fail to properly maintain their truck, they and their trucking company can be held financially liable for injuries and fatalities that occur as a result.
When investigating fatal truck accidents, we review a truck driver's log book, vehicle maintenance records, state inspection and ticket records for the driver and/or company, assess where violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations have occurred, and recover data from the on-board black box data recorder. We expose evidence of excessive speeding, driver fatigue, the overloading of trucks and improper driver training by reviewing evidence and company records.
