After a serious semi truck crash, determining what happened may involve looking beyond the person behind the wheel.

Depending on the circumstances, an investigation may look at the:

🚛 Truck driver
🚛 Trucking company
🚛 Owner of the truck or trailer
🚛 Maintenance and repair history
🚛 Cargo loading
🚛 Vehicle or parts manufacturer

Commercial truck crashes can involve evidence and potential responsibility that aren't present in a typical two vehicle accident.

That's why investigating how and why the crash happened matters.

Seriously injured in an Iowa truck crash? Understand your rights and options.

🚛 Thousands of Photos. One Critical Piece of Evidence.

After a serious truck accident, investigators often rely on black box data, onboard cameras, photographs, and police reports.

But sometimes, the most important evidence isn't found on a computer.

During a truck accident investigation, our attorneys personally inspected a semi that had rear-ended our client's vehicle. Despite thousands of photographs of the truck, something important had been overlooked.

Our client's license plate was embedded in the damaged front end of the semi.

We found it because we went to inspect the truck ourselves.

It's a powerful reminder that physical evidence matters—and that investigating a serious accident sometimes means getting out from behind a desk.

In our latest blog, we explain why preserving evidence and investigating accident scenes and vehicles can make a difference.

Happy Halloween from LLDDC Law!

10/30/2026

🎃 Halloween, expect the unexpected.

Halloween means excited kids, dark costumes and a lot more pedestrians in our neighborhoods.

A few reminders before the trick-or-treating begins:

👻 Slow down in residential areas, even below the posted speed when necessary.
🔦 Watch carefully at intersections, driveways and between parked cars.
📵 Put the phone away. A child can enter the roadway in seconds.
🚗 Back out of driveways slowly and check twice.
🧡 Parents, add lights or reflective material to costumes and remind kids to cross where drivers expect pedestrians.

The candy can be distracting for the kids. Let’s make sure we’re not distracted behind the wheel.

Have a fun and safe Halloween from all of us at Lawyer Lawyer Dutton Drake & Conklin LLP.

We’re On Your Side.

What happens if you’re driving for work and another driver causes an accident?

You may potentially have two different claims.

One may be a Workers’ Compensation claim because you were injured while performing your job.

The other may be a personal injury claim against the driver who caused the accident.

The two claims are different and can involve different insurance companies, benefits and types of compensation. There can also be important issues involving how the two claims interact.

If you were seriously injured in a vehicle accident while working in Iowa, don’t assume you have to choose one or the other.

Talk with an attorney who understands both Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury law.

Calls are always FREE.

Your doctor releases you to light duty.
Your employer gives you work that appears to fit within the restrictions.
But once you start doing it, you're having pain or difficulty performing the job.
Don't just struggle through it without saying anything.
Report the problems you're having.
Your doctor needs to know how you're responding to the work so your condition and restrictions can be evaluated.
Too often, injured workers stay quiet because they're worried about their jobs. But failing to report problems can leave everyone with an incomplete picture of what's actually happening.
Your medical restrictions matter. So does communicating when something isn't working.

After an accident, you may hear from an insurance adjuster who seems helpful and tells you they just need a few things to process your claim.

Remember, the insurance company does not represent you.

Before you settle a serious injury claim, make sure you understand the extent of your injuries, whether you may need future medical treatment, how much work you may miss, and how the injury could affect you long term.

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

If you were seriously injured in an Iowa accident and have questions about your rights, call us. The conversation is always FREE.

🚨 Your Doctor Says LIGHT DUTY. Your Employer Says FULL DUTY. Now What?

You've been injured at work. Your doctor has restricted how much you can lift, bend, stand, or perform other physical activities.

But your employer wants you back doing your regular job.

Do you have to do it? Could you lose your workers' compensation benefits if you refuse?

Under Iowa workers' compensation law, injured employees may be required to accept suitable light-duty work. But the work must be consistent with their disability.

And just because an employer calls a job "light duty" doesn't necessarily mean it is.

Before refusing an assignment, quitting, or ignoring your medical restrictions, understand your rights.

We've answered some of the most common questions in our newest blog:
