How We Add Value: On-the-Scene Investigation

From discovering overlooked evidence to safeguarding clients before transportation regulators, Post & Schell attorneys help clients return to the road and back to business.
What We Do: Keep Fleets on the Road
Post & Schell's Commercial Vehicle Liability Group protects national and regional clients when catastrophic accidents occur.
Service highlights include:
- EMERGENCY RESPONSE LINE - 877-999-POST (877-999-7678): A 24-hour, 7 day-a-week hotline monitored by a Post & Schell attorney. One call dispatches our On Scene representatives who arrive within hours of a serious vehicular accident. For accidents farther away, we coordinate post-accident responses for entities large and small throughout the country.
- Evidence Gathering and Preservation: Our highly-experienced forensics professionals gather evidence and reduce the likelihood of spoliations. From preventing movement of vehicles that could erase ECM data to deploying high-definition surveying (HDS) laser scanning and event data recorder (EDR) downloads, we use ground breaking technology to build our client's case.
- Evidence Presentation: Innovative transformations of point cloud and other data results in precise, court-approved 3-D and 2-D models and exhibits. Accident simulations, which include shadows, glare, and reaction speeds, clarify complex fact patterns and accident narratives.
- Regulatory Compliance, Audits, and Insurance Disputes: We advise on compliance with Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations. Our attorneys manage insurance coverage disputes, DOT audits, and driver violation, hiring and retention issues
