Tobiah Pelletier
Partner, Bath
Tobiah keeps the Bath office and leads the firm's truck crash cases.
Tobiah drove a delivery truck through law school, so he knows what a logbook, a pre-trip inspection and a rushed dispatcher look like from the cab. He joined the firm after several years at a Portland litigation practice.
He sees clients in Bath on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and spends much of the rest of the week reading the records trucking companies would rather keep.

How Tobiah starts a truck case
Within days, Tobiah sends the carrier a letter asking it to keep the truck's electronic logs, its dash-camera video, the driver's hours and the inspection reports. Some of it can be overwritten in weeks.
Then he works out who else had a hand in the crash: the company that loaded the truck, the shop that serviced it, the broker that set the schedule. Each may answer, and each may carry its own insurance.
