80,000 Pounds vs. Your Family. The Truck Company vs. The Truth.
One second you're driving home on I-285. The next second, an 18-wheeler plows into your car at 65 mph. Your family's world explodes. But while you're fighting for your life in the ICU, the trucking company's accident response team is already on scene — taking photos, interviewing witnesses, and downloading the truck's black box data before it "disappears."
They're not there to help you. They're there to protect their billion-dollar company.
At Gunn Law Group, we're The Truck Evidence Specialists. We know exactly what trucking companies do in the first 48 hours after a crash — because we move faster than they do. We preserve the evidence they want to destroy, we know the FMCSA regulations they violated, and we turn their own data against them.

The Evidence Trucking Companies Hope You Never Find
Commercial trucks are required by federal law to maintain electronic logs, GPS tracking, maintenance records, driver qualification files, and black box data. But trucking companies have 30 days to "preserve" this evidence after being notified. In practice, hard drives crash, files get corrupted, and maintenance logs get "accidentally" destroyed.
- The 14 types of electronic evidence trucks must preserve (most lawyers don't know 9 of them)
- FMCSA regulations every truck driver must follow — and how violations prove your case

Your Family vs. Their Corporate Defense Machine
An 80,000-pound truck destroyed your car, your body, and your life. You're facing millions in medical bills, permanent disabilities, and lost income. Meanwhile, the trucking company has deployed a team of corporate lawyers, accident reconstructionists, and investigators to prove it wasn't their fault.
You feel powerless, overwhelmed, and outgunned. How do you fight a billion-dollar company with unlimited legal resources when you can barely get out of bed?
Federal trucking regulations exist to protect families like yours from exactly this type of catastrophic crash. When trucking companies violate safety rules to maximize profits, the community has a responsibility to hold them accountable — not let them escape through corporate legal tactics.
Meet Your Guide — Our Evidence Preservation Process
We've fought this battle before — and won. As The Truck Evidence Specialists, we know exactly what trucking companies do to avoid responsibility, and we counter every move they make. We've recovered millions from trucking companies by using their own evidence against them.
Immediate Response (0-24 hours)
We send spoliation letters to preserve all electronic evidence, dispatch investigators to the crash scene, and begin building your case while the trucking company is still planning theirs.
Evidence Collection (1-30 days)
We download black box data, obtain driver logs, review maintenance records, analyze FMCSA violations, and interview witnesses before they forget or disappear.
Maximum Recovery (30 days+)
We build an overwhelming case using the trucking company's own evidence and federal safety violations to secure maximum compensation.
Medical bills covered, lost income recovered, future care secured, and the satisfaction that the trucking company was held accountable for violating the safety rules that protect every family on the road.
Corporate lawyers are already working to minimize what they pay you. Every day you wait, evidence disappears and your case gets weaker.
Why We Own "Truck Evidence Specialists" in Atlanta
We don't just handle truck accident cases — we specialize in preserving and using the electronic evidence that trucking companies try to destroy. When we send a spoliation letter, trucking companies know they're dealing with lawyers who understand their industry.
We Know the FMCSA Playbook
Federal regulations (49 CFR) require specific driver qualifications, hours of service limits, vehicle maintenance, and cargo securement. We know every regulation trucking companies commonly violate — and how to prove those violations caused your crash.
We Move Faster Than Their Lawyers
Trucking companies deploy accident response teams within hours. We deploy faster. Our investigators are often on scene before their lawyers arrive, preserving physical evidence and witness statements they hoped to control.
We Speak Electronic Evidence
Black box data, electronic logs, GPS tracking, fleet management systems — we know how to download, analyze, and interpret the electronic evidence that proves driver fatigue, speeding, distraction, and mechanical failures.
We've Broken Their Defense Strategies
We know how trucking companies shift blame to other drivers, claim mechanical failures were "unforeseeable," and argue their driver followed all regulations. We've countered every defense strategy they use.
The Federal Safety Rules That Protect Your Family
Every family driving on I-285, I-75, I-85, and I-20 depends on commercial truck drivers following federal safety regulations. These aren't suggestions — they're community protection rules designed to prevent exactly the type of catastrophic crash that injured your family.
Hours of Service Rules (49 CFR Part 395)
The Rules That Protect Everyone:
- Drivers cannot drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty
- Drivers cannot drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty
- Drivers must take a 30-minute break after 8 consecutive hours of driving
- Drivers must maintain accurate electronic logs of all driving time
Because tired truck drivers kill families. When a driver violates hours of service rules and causes a crash, they've endangered every vehicle on the highway. Your case enforces these life-saving rules.
Vehicle Maintenance Requirements (49 CFR Part 396)
The Rules Trucking Companies Must Follow:
- Daily pre-trip vehicle inspections
- Regular maintenance of brakes, tires, steering, and coupling devices
- Immediate repair of any safety-related defects
- Detailed maintenance records for every vehicle
When trucking companies cut corners on maintenance to save money, they turn 80,000-pound vehicles into weapons on our highways.
Cargo Securement Standards (49 CFR Part 393)
The Rules That Prevent Deadly Accidents:
- Proper tie-down procedures for all cargo types
- Weight distribution requirements
- Regular cargo inspection during transport
- Specialized securement for hazardous materials
We prove the trucking company violated specific federal safety rules that every Atlanta family depends on, making your case about community enforcement, not just personal compensation.
When Trucking Companies See Our Evidence, Cases Settle
The trucking company claimed their driver wasn't at fault and offered us $150,000. Gunn Law Group obtained the truck's black box data that showed the driver was speeding and hadn't taken his required rest break. The electronic evidence proved our case. Final settlement: $2.4 million.
My husband was killed by a drunk truck driver on I-75. The trucking company's lawyers said they weren't responsible because he was an independent contractor. Harrell Gunn proved they knew about his drinking history and failed to monitor him properly. The settlement provides for our children's college education.
- Millions recovered using trucking companies' own electronic data
- 100% success rate in preserving critical evidence before destruction
- Average settlement increase of 450% after evidence analysis
- Multiple seven-figure settlements in truck accident cases
The Evidence Destruction Clock Is Ticking
Critical time windows — every hour costs you proof that could be worth millions.
Black Box Data
Trucks' Engine Control Modules (ECMs) store the last 30 days of driving data — speed, braking, engine RPMs, sudden stops. Some systems overwrite data every 30 days, others when triggered by new events. This data disappears forever without proper preservation.
Witness Statements
Other truck drivers who saw the crash often leave the area within days. Getting their statements while memories are fresh is critical — they know industry practices and can identify regulatory violations.
Electronic Logs
Under FMCSA rules, trucking companies must preserve electronic logs when notified of an accident. Without legal notice, they may "routinely purge" older data. Driver qualification files, maintenance records, and dispatch communications follow the same timeline.
Fleet Management Data
GPS tracking, fleet monitoring systems, and driver performance data are often stored on rolling 90-day cycles. This evidence shows patterns of violations, not just the day of your crash.
We Preserve Evidence. We Win Cases.
When trucking companies receive our spoliation letters, they know they're dealing with The Truck Evidence Specialists. Not general personal injury lawyers who don't understand FMCSA regulations. Not attorneys who've never downloaded black box data. The specialists who turn their own evidence against them.
You have two options:
- Let the trucking company control the evidence and pay you whatever they want
- Preserve the evidence that proves their driver violated federal safety rules and demand maximum compensation
