If you have been badly injured in a truck accident, you may be inundated with bills and expenses from your medical treatment. This could only get worse if you are unable to return to work while you recover from your injuries. However grim your situation may seem, you may have an avenue to get paid through a personal injury claim. An Illinois truck accident attorney can represent you in a claim for compensation after a collision with a commercial tractor-trailer.
Building a case for a truck accident claim requires a strong foundation of evidence. One of the most crucial pieces of evidence in your claim may be the truck’s black box data. At Schwartz Injury Law, we can take steps to recover any available data to strengthen your case.
What Is a Black Box?
A black box (also called an event data recorder) is a device installed in most vehicles that stores data of various inputs from the driver. This includes data about steering, brake usage, throttle position, and more.
