What crashes are on RAINBOW TRANSPORTATION INC's federal record?
A May 14, 2026 crash in NJ is on file — recorded as injury, with 1 person injured.
Why these columns: a crash enters the federal file only when it involved a death, an injury taken for immediate medical care, or a vehicle towed disabled from the scene — the federal reportable-crash threshold. Property-damage-only crashes below that threshold are not in this record.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.
Why timing matters
State law may give you years to file a claim — but the evidence often doesn't last that long. Dashcam and onboard data can be overwritten within days. Federal rules require carriers to keep a driver's electronic logs (ELD) for only six months; after that, deletion is lawful. A preservation letter from an attorney puts the carrier on formal notice — destroying evidence after that point risks court sanctions.
