Alexander Law, our managing attorney worked more than ten years on the defense side, representing trucking companies and their insurers. That&#8217;s the same experience behind our approach to handling the trucking company&#8217;s insurer, and it&#8217;s why every truck case here starts with locking down evidence instead of waiting to see what the other side produces.<\/p>\r\n        <blockquote class=\"jw-pullquote\">The trucking company is already protecting its driver&#8217;s records within hours of the crash. The whole case comes down to who locks down the data first. My job is to make sure we&#8217;re first, and you can rest as we work.<\/blockquote>\r\n        <p class=\"jw-byline\" style=\"margin:1.2rem 0 0;padding-top:1.1rem;border-top:2px solid var(--gold);display:inline-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/about-us\/josh-alexander\/\" style=\"color:var(--gold);text-decoration:none;font-family:var(--f-head);font-weight:700;font-size:1.1rem\">Josh Alexander<\/a><span style=\"display:block;margin-top:.25rem;font-size:.78rem;color:var(--faint);letter-spacing:.14em;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:700\">Founder and Managing Attorney<\/span><\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"jw-attyshot\">\r\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/josh-media-2.webp\" alt=\"Josh Alexander, Founder and Managing Attorney at J.
