A "go team" is a group of investigators that trucking companies deploy quickly after an accident to protect their interests. Having your own team can level the playing field.
Recently we were hired by a family to represent them when they had a loved one tragically killed in an accident involving a delivery truck. I was on vacation with my family when I got the call and knowing this was a priority for this family and for me, I immediately flew back, met with the family and brought in our investigative team. And when you're involved in an accident or you're representing the family who's been involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle, it's so important that you collect all the evidence at the scene. And we have a group of men, accident reconstructionists, videographers who come in, they use drones, they fly the scene, they take laser measurements, they collect all the evidence at the scene to make sure that our clients are on equal footing with the trucking company. The trucking companies have what they call "go teams." In 24 hours they can have these same investigators on behalf of the trucking company there to protect their driver. Well, at McCutcheon and Hamner we've done the same thing. We have our own go team. So anywhere in the continental United States within 24 hours we can have a group of men and ladies there at the scene taking care of our clients and protecting the scene and gathering the evidence we need to be successful for our clients. Because of us getting there, making this case a priority like we do every case, every case is a priority to us. But because we got there, got our team on the scene, within 12 hours of the accident we were able to resolve that case for our family for in excess of $5 million.
