Truck crashes aren’t just “bigger car wrecks.” In the St. Louis area, many incidents happen when drivers are working on tight schedules—merges, lane changes, sudden slowdowns, and intersections with changing traffic patterns. Those situations often trigger disputes about:
- Speed and stopping distance (including whether the truck driver left enough room)
- Braking and mechanical condition (maintenance and inspection records)
- Cargo security and load shifting
- Driver fatigue / log compliance
An AI tool may produce a range based on injury severity, but it can’t review the kinds of facts that matter locally—like available roadway footage, the truck’s operational records, and whether Missouri comparative fault arguments are likely to reduce recovery.
